Founder’s Statement
“I started BINTA one year ago in Warsaw with zero experience, a bolt of fabric and a dream to make African heritage wearable everywhere. To stand in front of the NFF Chairman today, on behalf of the Nigerian community in Poland, and to hear him say the Ministry of Culture should be aware of this initiative. I could not have written a better first chapter. This is bigger than fashion. This is about what Nigerians in the diaspora are building every day, quietly and with purpose.”
