Marcelline Umizeye, B&M Styles

NAME: Marcelline Uwizeye

COUNTRY: Rwanda

BUSINESS: B&M Styles (Designer Boutique)

Marcelline, 30 years old, owns B&M Styles, a boutique that specializes in designer clothing.

Before she was married, Marcelline worked for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a job she didn’t really love. After talking to her husband about her passion for business and style, she decided to start up her own boutique.

With its two employees, B&M Styles offers its customers designer clothes, shoes, bags, as well as traditional wear. The business also sells material for  tailoring outfits.

Over the next five years, Marcelline hopes to expand her shop and open more branches in cities outside of Kigali. She would also like to purchase sewing machines so that she can begin designing her own clothing line.

Marcelline looks forward to her PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS training for many reasons, including meeting with other businesswomen and learning about customer care and what more ideas she could incorporate into her boutique.
