This week in the guest chair we have visionary creator April Showers, the entrepreneurial expert behind Afro Unicorn. April became the first Black woman to own a fully licensed character brand, putting her with the likes of Disney. Afro Unicorn has rapidly expanded its footprint, being stocked in over 3,500 stores.

In this episode she shares:
– How she established a presence in seven major retailers across the U.S. and Canada including Walmart and Target
– The ins and outs to becoming a licensed character brand, and the major benefits that come along with it
– Why she doesn’t solely rely on social media for marketing and what really helped put her on the map
