about april showers + afro unicorn™
April Showers is a multiple business owner, single mother of two, and in May 2019, she started a movement of likeminded, black unicorns through apparel and accessories. She is the founder and CEO of Afro Unicorn™, a brand designed to remind women and children of colour how unique, divine and magical they are.
In May 2022, she launched in Walmart as the first black woman and first black licensed brand in party supplies for a major retailer. Her goal from the beginning was to help normalise black beauty, give black and brown girls a unicorn that represents them and encourages them to love the skin that they're in and embrace the crown on their heads.
So during our conversation, April shares her journey and inspiration behind Afro Unicorn™. She shares her mission to inspire fellow small business owners and really takes us behind the scenes of the grassroots and community oriented approach to building Afro Unicorn™.
We dive into so much great stuff, including just how important gratitude is, how walking in your truth is absolutely central to everything April does, the importance of consistency. And I feel like this entire episode is just like an incredible masterclass in confidence. And I really ended this episode feeling like I can take on the world!
