This week on the podcast, Paula interviews Bella Nakato, the guru behind Uganda’s natural hair revolution. She has achieved this through her Kampala-based hair salon and store, EnviriZaNacho, and her beauty line, AfriLux Beauty.
Paula first interviewed Bella in 2019 during a work trip to Uganda, and recently called the beauty entrepreneur again to discuss how EnviriZaNacho has managed during Covid-19.
This a raw and honest episode that many businesswomen across the continent will connect with as we all figure out how to survive Covid-19.
In this episode, we also talk about:
- How a Facebook group grew into a shop, salon and beauty brand
- The importance of word of mouth in the Ugandan market
- The financial power of the natural hair industry
- How to build a team you are proud of
- What happened when the Covid-19 lockdown hit Kampala
- Plus, an invaluable giveaway for budding beauty entrepreneurs
Envirizanacho shop and salon is found on the ground floor of Kisakye mall in Ntinda. Phone contact is +256-751788112
