Meet the Founder

I’m Okike Chidinma Augusta, a native of Ndiawa Izombe in Oguta LGA, Imo State, and a graduate of Plant Science and Biotechnology.Driven by a desire to see women gain financial freedom through practical skills, I founded Augusta’s Empire Fashion Academy.What started from that vision has grown into a fashion academy that has trained 50+ students in 4 years—a journey of consistent growth we are grateful to God for.And I believe this is only the beginning of what God has in store for me and the brand.
