LAKUVA Is Personal. And It’s Yours, Too.
The name LAKUVA comes from my children — Lala and Kuki.
But the purpose comes from something deeper:
To help women like me — women who had to start over, build from scratch, and figure it all out on their own.
LAKUVA started as my journey through Amazon, Noon, Trendyol, and Shopify.
Today, it’s a space where I help women launch meaningful brands, grow on the right platforms, and build confidence through real business.
It’s not a marketplace. It’s a movement.
From one dreamer to another — welcome.

Where We’re Going
LAKUVA was born from a personal need — to rebuild, to create, to lead.
But it’s not just about me.
This platform is for women everywhere — especially those starting over, doing it on their own, and dreaming of something better.
My heart will always be with Africa, and one day, I hope LAKUVA can give back to women there — and to children in Ethiopia who deserve every opportunity to thrive.
One story. One business. One woman at a time.
We’re not done — we’re just beginning.
