We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Bizu Hodge. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Bizu below.

Bizu, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

My mission is to provide clients with an appreciation of the multicultural talents in the world. My multicultural background and education has allowed me to experience the culture and artistry of many countries. My heritage is from Ethiopa, my early education is from Italy where I was exposed to its culture and the creative aspects of the Clothing and shoes industry. My business experience was honed in the US high technology and car industry.
Later in my business career, I decided to share my international background and experience by creating a unique shoe brand where I merged the Ethiopan culture of multicolor fabric with the creative shoe manufacturing of the Italian shoe industry.
My hope and dream is that this unique product line will be attractive to many clients who appreciate the creativity and contributions of Ethiopan factory workers and italian manufacturing.
My social contribution is to help many of the poor people in Ethiopa who lack the ability to do meaningful work and improve their standard of leaving.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

My passion to create a unique shoe product line gave me the energy, confidence and resilience to start the business although I had no prior experience to create a product line and business on my own. Through much hard work and persistence I feel I have created the core of a successful business.

Do you sell on your site, or do you use a platform like Amazon, Etsy, Cratejoy, etc?

My current marketing method is to use Amazon, etsy, as well as bizushoes.com Website. I am looking to expand the marketing to other e-commerce platforms
