Episode description

Listen in as Afro Unicorn founder April Showers details the path and journey she took to being the first black woman to own a licensed character brand being sold in major retailers across the country in over 20+ categories.

Some of the things we talk about in this episode include:

- What April's former careers in real estate and insurance taught her about business
- April's initial business trajectory...and how that changed
- How Walmart got interested in the brand and how April scaled Afro Unicorn
- The power of character licensing and why Afro Unicorn has the potential to be a billion dollar business
- Why having a marathon mindset is key for success...and more!
