Today we’d like to introduce you to Kwame Sarfo
Hi Kwame, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Hey there! My journey started over 10 years ago in sales, and I’ve spent the past 5 years in tech sales. Around the same time, I got into modeling and have been enjoying that for over 9 years now. I’ve always had a passion for community work, and I’ve been lucky enough to get featured on TV for some of the projects I’ve been involved in.
Recently, I launched Obrempong Home, an online platform for home improvement and décor. It’s been an exciting venture, combining my love for creating solutions with the goal of helping people make their homes beautiful. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m looking forward to what’s next!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Definitely not. One of the biggest challenges I faced was in 2021 when I was hit by a car and almost died. It took me to one of the lowest points in my life, physically and mentally. The recovery process was tough, but it also molded me in ways I never expected. That experience taught me that sometimes you have to rebuild from the ground up, and it showed me that everything you once had can be regained, often in a better and stronger form. It was a hard lesson, but it gave me a new perspective on resilience and determination.
As you know, we’re big fans of Obrempong Home. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Certainly! Obrempong Home specializes in preserving and promoting the timeless beauty of kente cloth through our meticulously handwoven blankets. Our brand is deeply rooted in celebrating African cultural heritage, particularly through the vibrant colors and intricate patterns of kente cloth, which symbolize identity, pride, and spirituality.
What sets Obrempong Home apart is our commitment to craftsmanship and cultural authenticity. Each blanket is a labor of love, requiring over 120 hours of artisanal dedication. This results in not just a blanket, but a unique masterpiece that embodies centuries-old traditions and tells a story of resilience and creativity.
We take great pride in our dedication to community impact. By actively engaging and employing local artisans, we contribute to the economic development of the communities we operate in. This investment ensures that the artistry of handwoven craftsmanship is preserved and passed on to future generations.
At Obrempong Home, we believe in the power of storytelling through art. Our handwoven blankets are more than just products; they are tangible expressions of cultural narratives. We invite everyone to explore our collection and experience the fusion of artistry, culture, and community impact.
Whether you’re looking to adorn your home with a piece of African heritage or support sustainable community development, Obrempong Home offers a unique opportunity to engage with cultural richness and make a meaningful difference through your purchase.
If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up, I enjoyed playing a variety of sports, which kept me active and engaged. While I tended to be more on the quiet side, my interest in business sparked early when I took my first business class in 7th grade. This experience ignited a passion that has shaped my career path and entrepreneurial endeavors ever since.
