On a fateful day in 2020, Mercy Kyallo, CEO of Yallo leather, lost her job and found herself struggling with depression for two months.
However, it was during this period of darkness that Mercy discovered her inner strength and resilience, which ultimately led her to start her own leather business.
As she revealed in a YouTube video, Mercy had made 23 bags, which she had stocked at a shop in Village Market, but had only sold one by the time she was fired.
Without a steady income to sustain her business, Mercy had to think outside the box and find new ways to market her products.
She credits YouTube motivational speakers for inspiring her to take action and start selling her bags one by one.
With determination and hard work, Mercy was able to turn her business around and is now selling her products online.
Her story is a testament to the power of entrepreneurship and the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity.
