Hey whats up people! On today's episode of #QuarantineTalks , your friendly neighborhood negro @JCFromTheOVT sits down with #BeautyQueen and international business owner @BlessedUmu! Umutoni is the creator of @kaleidoscopebeautyltd a jewelry company with roots in #Africa and the #UK ! We talk her origin story and how she came to the world of #jewelry design and sale, her feature in @forbes, @bbcafrica, and @sheenmagazine magazines and the trails and tribulations of running  an #InternationalBusiness !

.

We also discuss the unique position that African and #Caribbean #immigrants  face living in a quote-un-quote #FirstWorld country, being so closely tied to their countries of origin and the mental strain it causes. We also discuss the challenges facing the continent since #quarantine and #covid began.

.

And to finish off on a much lighter note; we talk about her being a pageant queen and swimming  with sharks……literally…. 😳🦈🏊🏾‍♀️😖
