Ferdnand Muganda, a communications graduate is the brain behind Tajiri, a luxury brand currently producing t-shirts. He shares his experiences in the t-shirt branding business, challenges, opportunities, youth unemployment and more.
What’s the inspiration behind the Tajiri brand?
Mansa Musa, the tenth Mansa of the Mali Empire who’s considered one of the richest people to ever live. He was so wealthy that at one point, he was going on a pilgrimage to Mecca and when he made a stopover in Egypt, he caused an economic inflation. He inspired the name Tajiri.
