Studio 189 founder. Unashamed homebody. Community uplifter

- Kholeka Kumalo

Abrima Erwiah

I was born and raised in New York City. I have a brand called Studio 189, which promotes African and sustainable fashion. I love what I do because it brings people together, and it is innovative and expressive. I started working with luxury labels such as Bottega Veneta, Cesare Paciotti and Hermès many years ago, and ultimately decided to weave development work into it. Through her role in activism and philanthropy, actress Rosario Dawson helped me forge a path in social development work, and I eventually moved on in my career to work and partner with organisations such as the United Nations International Trade Center, Afripads, 14plus foundation, V-Day and the Lower Eastside Girls Club. My favourite pieces of design at home include furniture that we had custom-made in Africa, such as a peacock chair and a Danish-style teak table.
