How we started
In 2019, I started this brand as side hustle with just 6 shirts and a burning desire to inspire others. As a graphic designer with a passion for empowering others, I knew that the words we wear could be a powerful means of inspiring and uplifting those around us. Thus, the “CURA” brand was born, fueled by the belief that self-care and inspiration are essential cornerstones of a fulfilling life.
Merely three months after introducing our brand to the world, we ascended to the pinnacle of achievement as Jumia’s top seller, little did we know that this rise is temporary until, December 2019. When I had a fatal accident that broke me down and forced me to closed down the brand.
Renewed Hope
Not until 2020 after covid lock-down, came a renewed mindset. One fortified with Debt, Broken Leg and a renewed hope of starting the brand “CURA” back right in the corner of my room. As we proceed in the journey and strive to make an impact in others too, we noticed the gaps in the fashion industry that needed filling, this realization fueled our desire to do more, to create a brand that not only inspires but also makes a tangible impact on people’s lives.
Finding the true definition of “Cura”
In this rough moment I understand better importance of Self-Care. Its okay to dream big, work hard, but it’s also crucial to prioritize dedicated self-care. Only by doing so can we dream bigger, achieve more, and consistently be there for the people who hold a special place in our hearts. Cura is more than just a word to us. It symbolizes caring for oneself and others, It signifies the journey towards a life that’s both purposeful and joyously fulfilled.
