crowdfunding £8k in 30 days! | the power of community & resilience | Bolutife Awakan | Ep 24
On this episode of The Hungry Creative Podcast, we sit down with Bolutife Awakan, a brand designer and strategist whose bold leap of faith turned into an extraordinary success story.
Bolu launched a daring crowdfunding campaign and raised £8,000 in just 30 days after being selected into the Future London Academy's design leaders cohort in the United Kingdom. In this conversation, she opens up about the personal challenges that shaped her, the self-belief that fueled her journey, and the powerful role of community support when it mattered most.
Her story is one of resilience, creativity, and courage—a reminder that sometimes the biggest wins come when you decide to bet on yourself.
Whether you’re a creative, entrepreneur, or dreamer looking for inspiration, Bolu’s journey will encourage you to push past fear, lean on your community, and keep going when the odds feel stacked against you.
