In our country, Nigeria, when you think of snacks, it’s mostly associated with an unhealthy lifestyle. But what if it doesn’t have to be so? What if snacks can be healthy too? That’s where our Woman Crush Wednesday, Nelly Agbogu, comes in. Nelly is the owner of Nellies Nigeria, an indigenous healthy bread, snack and meal company, that focuses on producing creative healthy snacks using local produce.
Her journey to starting a healthy snack and bread company started as a solution and a response to a personal problem and through the years, she has managed to turn her challenge to a successful business.
With the challenges she faced building a business from scratch, Nelly was armed with valuable experience with which she decided to turn into an opportunity to help others, hence creating Naijabrandchick, a platform that helps small-scale businesses scale through using the one platform she believes transformed her business – Instagram.
Her resilience in maintaining and growing her business against the odds is admirable and worthy of mention and emulation.
