From PR to Powerhouse: Inga Sebata’s Journey of Fashion, Fear & Fierce Femininity

Loading player...
It’s a pink Monday on the Triple P Bottom Line! Join Diane Naidoo and Sam as they chat with PR professional-turned-fashion entrepreneur Inga Sebata, founder of StitchedByInga. Inga shares her inspiring path from side hustle to studio, navigating imposter syndrome, building a brand for the real African woman, and growing a purpose-driven business rooted in people, planet, and prosperity. With laughter, honesty, and hard truths about being a creative and a CEO, this is a masterclass in sustainability, entrepreneurship, and self-belief.

✨ Her Accidental Empire – How a missed fashion school deadline led her to PR… and why it was the best detour for her now-thriving brand.
🧵 From Laundry Room to Studio – The unfiltered journey of scaling a business during COVID: “I outgrew my guest bedroom, then my laundry room… then my garage!”
💡 Imposter Syndrome & the Hustle – “Even after 5 years, I still ask: Can I really do this?” Her tricks to silence self-doubt and stay edgy.
👗 Designing for African Curves – Why her clothes intentionally cater to real African women (“We’ve got hips, tiny waists—retail stores ignore us!”).
🌍 Fashion with a Conscience – How multi-season designs and quality fabrics combat fast fashion waste (“I don’t want my clothes in landfill piles”).

🔥 BONUS: Why she never splurges on Diamond Walk after big wins—and how planning for ‘winter seasons’ saved her business.

🎧 Tune in now for a masterclass in authentic entrepreneurship—where passion meets purpose, and every stitch tells a story.
