Co-Founder & Executive Director
After leaving Zambia at an early age, Nchimunya Wulf, studied music and art in Denmark and England, where she grew her passion for the arts and visual creativity specifically in the fashion arena. She evolved this passion further through working at top brands; Louis Vuitton, Burberry and Jimmy Choo, and also by attending College in the Bay Area, graduating as a certified stylist and esthetician. Her valuable work experience along with an invaluable education allowed her to parallel her passion with an entrepreneurial spirit, as she started a jewelry company, named "The 5th One", which is the meaning of her Zambian name; Nchimunya.
After finishing school, she moved her passion to the east coast in New York City, where she has grown to become a valued stylist, working with musicians, clothing companies, private clients, as well as various projects in print or video.
Today, Nchimunya has decided to explore life at the heart of her existence, as her latest project, is starting a non-profit organization with the goal of opening schools for the valuable children in various places in Africa, starting with her birth land of Zambia.
