I remember it, just like yesterday, when Zinkata was launched in a little back office at BPM Pro. I was filled with nervous energy and an anxious determination to succeed. Every sale fueled my resolve to keep going, push harder, and stay resilient.

Day by day, we opened our doors with one unwavering goal: to make every woman who walked into our store feel seen, heard, and appreciated. Through grit, hard work, prayers, a clear vision, and sheer goodwill, we have soldiered on and proudly reached this incredible milestone—our 10th anniversary. It truly could never have been possible without you all.

Everyone we’ve interacted with through this journey matters. To our customers, staff, stakeholders, partners, and supporters—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We truly cannot thank you enough.

As we embark on the next decade with a renewed determination to create a meaningful impact, we assure you of our unwavering commitment to our mission: to provide a safe space where you can shop confidently, discover your unique style, and celebrate the best of Indigenous African fashion.

The future is bright for African fashion, and we are honored to play our part in fostering its growth.

Thank you so much for being a part of this journey.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Ezinne Chinkata
