CITY SCOPE AFRICA WCW:
Funmi Lawal is the inspiring founder and CEO of Clip-Knix, a brand transforming lives through adaptive fashion.
After experiencing a stroke that limited her mobility, Funmi turned her challenge into innovation by creating Clip-Knix, an adaptive, front-fastening underwear line that helps women dress independently and with dignity.
With a background in Economics and an MSc from the London School of Economics, Funmi combines intelligence, empathy, and creativity to redefine accessibility in fashion. Her innovation has earned her several recognitions, including the CorporateLiveWire Prestige Award for Specialist Clothing (London & South East Region) and a feature on the f:Entrepreneur 2023 list for her outstanding contribution to female entrepreneurship.
She has been featured in Metro Online, The Mirror, Mail Online, and other global media platforms. Beyond business, she serves as a trustee of the Royal Free Patient Kidney Association and as a Lady Rebel Club ambassador, championing inclusion, empowerment, and representation.
At City Scope Africa, we honour Funmi Lawal as a visionary who has turned personal adversity into a global impact, embodying the true definition of strength, innovation, and purpose.
