These bags are literally on the level of Louis Vuitton if not beyond and that's why we buy them. You do not understand, this is an investment that will grow in value with time!!! Watch this space

[@sharllotemazoe5323]

Just like the Hermes Birkin bag. I see us scrambling to get knockoffs of the originals and paying top dollar prices. Why not do it for a brother offering products of the same caliber? I'm in. Now let me go horn my own craft in order to purchase at least one of his bags for myself.

[@Tmacpherson]

[@akinyiokeyo4618]

I think the bags are beyond LV since LV is now corrupted not pure leather anymore

[@ladysafari01]

I've lived abroad for over 30 years but never been swayed by the Gucci, LV, Prada luxury brands. I'm into 100% African brands. Jok a Jok is a must have brand in my books.

Africans we not poor, it's just our mindset that is hindering us. Now it's time for Africa to rise. We have good example here from Josiah. This is GUCCI of Africa.

[@mercyk2672]

The world likes to see something different and beautiful. My sister bought me this Kenyan made handbag a few years ago and Americans follow me asking me where I bought it. Even a simply made African outfit gets so much attention. So let's be proud of our creativity and culture, we have something the world wants. The world is ready for us.

The friends part, that is so true, I know of someone who was in His inner circle and the things He used to say about Tedd! Damn aki friends!! Funny thing Tedd went up as they went down. Good job Tedd! May you go further.

[@bellaolum9768]

Those bags are amazing, the quality is top-notch and the standard is international!😮

[@SP_D]

Hi Lynn, Amazing. Your guest has stepped into a divine Portal…Jok means God and Ajok is a name in the Luo tribe in Uganda specifically-Lango and Acholi given to women translated it can mean, of God, born of God. But Ajok can also mean a witch as the use of the word applies depending on what context it is used. Ajoka means a traditional healer in Luo language so depending on the application of those two words…so JokaJok in one dimension means The God of Ajok - the name of his product is deep!

[@rang3688]

This gentleman is destined for greatness, as his philosophy is truly divine. His words at @45:00 regarding the ‘failure’ of 'media personality' are simply divine. He is a man whose ideas are centered around fostering the success of others. As Africans, once we recognize that capitalism isn't inherently suited for us, that realization will mark our growth. China and other Asian countries have grasped this, evident in their progress. It's imperative for Africans to define our own growth and business philosophies. In this regard, I find inspiration in the words of Tedd Josiah. A Jokajok is a definite must-have.

[@gracey1080]

Tedd's authenticity is tangible and how proud he is about Africa and our rich culture... Good job and amazing project that came out of a painful process... He is a great Dad with a great sense of humor. I wish him all the best... There's hope for Africa!

Lynn.. How should I even tell you this? Wuuueh. Whenever I land here it's like my spirit, that inner dream gets born again. The process of grief in whichever areas in our lives has so much power to transform us to who we are really are meant to be. Anyone in that stage of discovering themselves and their potential needs to tune into INSPIRE GLOBAL. Thank you Lynn, long live LNN.

Mr. Tedd, truly Beautiful and elevated designs you have shown. The people of Africa (54 countries) are so talented in many aspects. Break that mantra of "Africa is third world" it is NOT. Microfinancing is needed to uplift so many talented people whose only issue is not having money to spearhead and execute their idea and talent.

[@EdnaJames-p4r]

These bags are of superb quality, longlasting, authentic. Price wise, their value will sky rocket as demand goes up. People will appreciate them as an asset, it's just a matter of time. A Burkin Bag price ranges around $ 100,000 - 500,000. When the Birkin bag was invented, they never imagined it's value with time. I wish you God's blessings as the world opens up to receive this Iconic Kenyan Invention.

Woow! This is inspiring This reminds of me sometime back..I have some basic tailoring skills and am passionate about bringing ideas into reality. I have made monkey bags, ladies and men clothes and made some little cash out of this hustle. However, I had to drop this and pursue something else. Someone very close told me to quit the hustle and focus on my studies as this is something 'generational'..(yeah my mum was a tailor.)
