Cris Njoki is the name and face behind the renowned made-in-Kenya clothing brand IKOJN, a brand she started seven years ago.
"When I finished school, I did not know what I wanted to do. I started thrifting and used a sewing machine that my dad had bought me when I was 13. He encouraged me to venture into the clothing business as he could see that I had a passion for it," she said in an interview.
She did thrifting for about a year and a half and from this, she got the capital to start IKOJN.
