Ubuntu Baba:
How I Built & Sold a Brand with Heart

Discover my personal and business strategies that gave me the freedom to do business my way.

Hey! I’m Shannon, the founder of Ubuntu Baba Baby Carriers.

Over the past 10 years, I built and sold South Africa’s most loved baby carrier brand, overcoming countless challenges along the way. Now, I’m excited to share all the things I’ve learned along this journey with you.

Learn how I:

  • Turned an idea into a brand that achieved over R25,000,000 in baby carrier sales
  • Built a loyal community of 18k+ customers and 78k organic social media followers
  • Created a thriving purpose-led brand that resonated deeply with its audience
  • Stayed true to my values while navigating all the highs and lows of entrepreneurship
  • Sold the business for 70% of my asking price by portraying it’s untapped potential

All whilst balancing motherhood in the process 🙂

Ubuntu Baba is tagged on social media every single day as a parenting must-have. If you have a great product, your brand could enjoy the same attention.
