Josephine is a softly spoken, eloquent and
independent woman who started with Quazi in 2012. Brought up by her Zambian
father who instilled in her the idea that a person should work hard and not
rely on others in order to achieve anything she is quietly ambitious. Coming
from a close knit family, she went to a local multicultural English school and
at the age of 19 found work at a pre-school. She then went on to work for a
bridal company and made trips to Mozambique to buy second hand clothes to sell
in order to make an income. Having quit her job in order to spend more time
with her 7 year old daughter she found out about Quazi Design at the age of 34.
Not having any background in hand skills she is picking up the techniques
quickly and settling into her new work, proud of the products she makes.
Currently saving to build a house on Swazi nation land she says that if she
could give her daughter anything it would be “to be independent and not rely on
other people”.
