Kindly introduce yourself?

I am Adesalu Olamide, CEO of Ladylammie Creations, a brand that is into craft work and bead making.

When did you start this venture?

It  started in September of 2013. A friend of mine was in my room one day, and she was on the phone talking to a friend about bead. I have always had interest in knowing how to make beads, so I asked her if she would be willing to teach me, and she agreed.

Why the name Ladylammie Creations?

I wanted to open an account on twitter and wanted something to go with my name. I couldn't come up with any that hasn't been used, but suddenly a friend came up with the name and it stuck since then

Kindly tell us about your educational background?

I studied Politics and International Relations at Lead city University, Ibadan

With a degree in Politics and International Relations, do you intend on going for the regular 8am-5pm job?

Well surprisingly, after my youth corp. service, I decided not to write a Curriculum Vitae (CV) as I wanted to focus on my business but you know how mothers are like. I told her to give me 3 months to prove myself after which I will write my CV, and look for a job. During that period, I did so well that people were amazed. So the answer to your question is, I don't think I want a job that will keep me away from doing my business.
