- Fashion designer, sewist, and content creator Priscillia Okpan has always had a passion for beautifully made clothing. Not knowing if she could take her hobby full-time, Priscilla studied microbiology before later deciding to study fashion design. After receiving her degree in fashion and working for a few established fashion brands in London, Priscilla launched a fashion-based YouTube channel that now has more than 430K subscribers and 26 million views. Today, Priscilla splits her time between her YouTube channel and running her ready-to-wear brand, Kim Dave, which is inspired by memories and cultures of her tribe, the Urhobo tribe in Nigeria..
