The Crochet Baddies Who Took my Virgi-KNITTY

The Young God

"Sewing and knitting are the hottest of hot girl skills... To be able to just think of an outfit and MAKE it??" Ayakeme and Andikan are respectively the gen-z founder and manager of GAEA LUMI (pronounced Gaya Loomi), a slow fashion crochet and knitwear brand based in Abuja. These two young people are the brave, creative minds behind Odumodu Blvck's signature red, black, and white Igbo headgear. 'Keme' and 'Didi' opened up to Rodney about their hopes and dreams for their business/brand, redefining fashion through knitwear, and challenging the idea that friends shouldn't do business together. This is also an episode of firsts. This epsiode features the first woman this season and the first non-binary person EVER on the podcast (and in person)! Rodney gets super curious about the non-binary gender and how that affects business and creativity. This is also the first time getting up close and personal with a crotchet/knitwear brand.
