Their hands made this collection. Now we want the world to see it.
I founded Kamite Collection Group in 2024 as a Pan-African fashion enterprise working with young artisans in Nigeria and across Africa to create handcrafted garments rooted in our heritage. We have been invited to present at AfriKin during Miami Art Week from November 29 to December 6, 2026. Every piece in this collection was designed and sewn by young Nigerian artisans, and I believe God opened this door for a reason.
Right now, this fundraiser is focused on making sure their work can be seen the way it deserves to be seen. I am raising funds to pay our artisans for their work, finish and ship the collection to Miami, and present it with models on the runway. These artisans trusted me with their talent, and I carry that responsibility deeply. It weighs on me to think that the people who created these pieces could remain unseen even as their work reaches an international stage.
Three of our team members are applying for US visas now. If their visas arrive in time, I may raise the fundraiser amount later so we can bring them to Miami in person to stand beside the work they created.
As a finance professor and accountant, I will post receipts in every update so donors can see how every gift is used. Giving examples: $25 helps feed an artisan’s family for a week. $100 helps ship the collection. $500 puts a look on the runway. Can’t give? Please share.
I am asking for your support so these young artisans can be honored, paid fairly for their work, and represented well on this stage. Any donation or share will help us carry this collection to Miami and help more people see the talent behind Kamite.
