I am a mother, scholar, founder, and the wise woman who knows the street. I have impacted over 30,000 people across media and in-person, housed 50+ people through my startup, and coached over 100 clients. I build things for people on the move — and I study everything because the problems I am solving require it.
I am a mother, researcher, author, and founder. I hold a BA and MA in Classics, an MA in Communications, and am completing my MSW. A JD, Executive MBA, and PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience are next.
I have won over $200,000 in competitive scholarships and grants — recognised by the American Psychological Association, the David Axelrod Institute, and the National Communication Association.
I ran the Chicago Marathon, founded the Iya Kudi docu-podcast, the Left Handers Club — a neuroinclusive learning studio — and ideyforyou, an ecosystem bridging placement, work, and community through Gida, ideyforyou labs, and FriendsCave.
From real estate to healing, advocacy to scholarships — each book is a tool for people building life on the move.
I have used rental arbitrage to build cash flow from properties I do not own — in Chicago, Lagos, and Nairobi. I want to show you how to do the same.
If you are a founder, executive, or investor ready to move — this is the line. No cold pitches. No general inquiries.
Bisola-Mariam speaks at conferences, universities, and community gatherings globally — on housing, diaspora resilience, entrepreneurship, and building with little to no capital.
Iya Kudi is a docu-podcast that travels the world to collect diaspora stories — people who left home carrying the traumas of the places they came from, and had to navigate entirely new traumas in entirely new spaces.
These are the stories no one tells because no one asked the right questions. I am asking them. If you have a story — invite me. I will come to you.
This store is not for everyone. It is for founders — the ones building with heart and soul, carrying the weight of a vision while the world asks if it is real. The ones who need the most care and rarely ask for it.
Custom-made clothing, spices, personal care items, and curated lifestyle products — designed to restore, elevate, and remind you why you started. From C-suite Afro-fusion outfits to everyday essentials, every product carries the same DNA as everything Bisola-Mariam builds: street-smart, globally inspired, unapologetically distinct.
You build for everyone. This was built for you.
