Interviewer: Your work bridges fashion, education, and philanthropy. What initially inspired you to create GMYT Group, and how has that vision evolved over the years?
Princess Kelechi Oghene: GMYT Group was born out of my passion for fashion and my desire to empower people, especially women. I started GMYT Fashion Academy to equip aspiring designers with the skills they need to succeed in the industry. But I quickly realized that true empowerment goes beyond fashion-it’s about education, mentorship, and providing opportunities. That’s why I expanded into philanthropy through the GMYT Foundation. Over the years, my vision has evolved from simply running a business to building a legacy that transforms lives.
