Ogo and Claire Mkparu have 3 children and are the founders of Akwa Baby. They are passionate about acceptance and self-love.
They have created a unisex kids clothing range that is made to stand out and spread a positive message.
Inspired by Nnenna Emily’s Nigerian heritage and the African art of storytelling textiles, the clothing carries symbols representing affirmations and positive messages of self-belief and love.
We would love to know about your journey; how did you get here?
Claire: Ogo and I met at a music festival in 2016, and we just recently celebrated our 4-year wedding anniversary.
At the time, Ogo owned a property company, and I worked in events, nothing to do with the fashion industry.
The arrival of our first daughter, Chia, turned our world into complete
