Daymond John’s Story & Advice To Entrepreneurs

Daymond John at a young age had a vision for his passion of hip-hop and fashion, as he planned to create a brand line of attire for the culture of hip-hop. It all started with placing his t-shirts into videos. The public believed that FuBu was a huge company, even though he only had 10 t-shirts made up, while working at a restaurant as a day job. His motivation for FuBu was his love and passion for Hip-Hop even though he considers himself a poor rapper and dancer.

His connection for working with LL Cool J as a sandwich runner and his productivity and ambition to get his product out was the beginning of something greater than he realized.

D’Tigress - Queens Of Africa Basket Ball

 

 

 

In the heart of Abidjan, under the bright lights of the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket, the roar of Nigeria’s D’Tigress echoes louder than ever. With every rebound, every fast break, and every defiant stare down the court, they are not just chasing another title — they are cementing a legacy.

This is more than a tournament. It’s a celebration of where they’ve come from, who they are now, and what they’re building for the future.

 

🔙 Then: The Spark Before the Flame

Before the dominance, there was struggle. In the early 2000s, D’Tigress was a team of raw talent and quiet resilience. Their historic win at the 2003 FIBA Women’s World Cup — the first by any African team — was a whisper of what was to come.

But resources were scarce. Recognition was limited. And yet, the players persevered. They laid the foundation for a dynasty in waiting, fueled by passion and pride.
