Festus Gbenga Chukwu
Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices
- 🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria
- Lagos Works
- Since 2014

My trade is shoemaking. I opened my own shop in 2014 in Lagos and I'm still there most mornings.
Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I take the work seriously, though not myself.

What gifts mean to Festus: A gift would go toward tools for apprentices who can't afford their own.
