My name is Larry. I came into this country as a refugee from my home country of Liberian in 2003, landing in Atlanta, Georgia. I went to school in Atlanta, taking Business Management / Healthcare Administration classes. After, I moved to Boston and started selling Avon products. Boston was very expensive, so I decided to relocate to South Carolina to go back to school and I attended Strayer University to get my business degree. But, things were not good for me and my family, so I decided to move to Iowa in 2013 and started an online African Clothing business. The demand was growing, so I decided to open my own African store in late June of 2020. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, business was quite slow, but I continued to pay for the rent of my store. As I type this, my shop is fully open, selling African Clothing and African Goods. By God’s Grace and with a bit of financial help, I am trying to stock my store and open another store back home in Liberia to help empower the students who are in need of something to do.
