Entrepreneur: Afro Unicorn was discovered on social media and has generated over 20 million in total sales in 5 yrs.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed April Showers.

Founder of Afro Unicorn, joins Money Making Conversations Masterclass to share how she built the first Black woman-owned, fully licensed character brand in major retail. With over $20 million in sales, Afro Unicorn celebrates diversity and empowers women and children of color.

🔑 Key Themes & Highlights

  1. Origins of Afro Unicorn

    • April was inspired by a friend's repeated reference to her as a "unicorn," highlighting her extraordinary ability to balance multiple businesses and raise two children.
    • Noticing existing unicorn imagery lacked representation, she created Afro Unicorn to uplift young girls of color.

  2. Challenges & Early Growth

    • Despite facing personal hardships—including her son's hospitalization and several family losses—April remained committed to her mission.
    • Her persistence led to a viral moment where a young girl wearing an Afro Unicorn shirt caught Walmart’s attention, resulting in a licensing deal.

  3. Licensing & Expansion

    • Instead of manufacturing herself, April strategically partnered with licensees to distribute Afro Unicorn merchandise.
    • Within a year, she secured 45+ licensing agreements, expanding into books, bedding, hair care, party supplies, and more.

  4. Business Strategy & Advice

    • Trademarking Afro Unicorn early, hiring an accountant and lawyer, and writing a business plan were critical to her success.
    • She advises entrepreneurs to visualize success, stay consistent, and never quit.

  5. Future Plans

    • April is developing Miss April’s Crown, an animated series teaching young entrepreneurs business skills through affirmations and mentorship.
