Yasmin Furmie, Breaking Boundaries - Crafting a Life of Meaning and Style

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Listen to Your Footsteps, host Kojo Baffoe sits down with Yasmin Furmie, a former social worker turned fashion entrepreneur, to explore her incredible journey of reinvention and resilience. From her early life in South Africa to immigrating to Australia as a teenager, Yasmin shares the challenges of navigating cultural identity and finding her voice in a new country.

    Yasmin reflects on her career shift, saying, "I never thought of being in fashion at all. I just thought I can't draw. But something happened, and I realised it was the right time to go into what fuels me and makes me happy." The conversation delves into her experiences as a mother, the struggles of balancing family life with personal ambition, and the lessons she’s learned along the way.

    Listeners will gain invaluable insights into how Yasmin built her fashion brand, SiSi, The Collection, with her business partner Cynthia, and how they’ve created timeless pieces that reflect their personal style. This episode is for anyone looking to redefine their path, embrace change, and find joy in the unexpected twists of life.
