Kemi shares her craft and experience with several young creatives and aspiring decorators through the Kemi Omeke Apprenticeship program. Where she takes on young creatives, mentors, and nurtures them to bring their brands and dreams to life.
“The reason I’m passionate about the apprenticeship program is that I believe one’s hands may be tired in terms of existing limitations but their mind is not. Everyone has the potential to dream, imagine, create and share their craft with the world because it’s never too late. It’s never too late to dream big. It’s never too late to make a change. It’s never late to have dreams so if you do dream, dream big, dream wild, let your dreams be as audacious as possible, have big dreams even if you fall short, it’s still worthwhile.”
