Today we sit down with Amoye Henry, the Co-founder and Executive Producer of the AfroChic Cultural Arts Festival, a program that has created opportunities for over 350 local and international artists, entrepreneurs and cultural practitioners.

Amoye, who started her first business at age 12, discusses her journey to becoming a young entrepreneur in the creative space and the challenges and obstacles she had to overcome to bring her vision of AfroChic to life over the span of 10 years.

Her work and efforts have earned her recognition as one of Canada’s Top 100 Accomplished Black Women (2018).
