Shade Kassim Hugs Limelight Again

-

LAGOS HIGH SOCIETY LADY, Folashade Kassim, has bounced back and better after several years that she has disappeare­d from public glare. Shade has delved into another business, especially repackagin­g herself after the known family business owned by her father, Kas Chicken, on Allen Avenue, Ikeja and Ishaga, Surulere area of Lagos, where she held sway, collapsed some years ago. Before the foremost fast-food eatery packed up, so much in demand was the quick service restaurant that the eatery was the toast of the mighty and affluent in the society, from the very top of the military hierarchy to the civil society. Kassim was not only the queen of business on Allen Avenue in the 90s, she was also known and respected in the United Kingdom and USA, especially among the happening crowd of Nigerians, not for anything, but for her business acumen and high lifestyle.

Months after she resurfaced, she has been busy trying to bounce back and relaunch herself into the business circle and the high society where she rightfully belongs. The society lady, who is also a Criminolog­y graduate, is now into women’s natural organic products.

The new company is called Raw Essence, which also networks with other entreprene­urs on different platforms to share ideas and assist one another, as well as understand how to make the best of the opportunit­ies available.
