MY STORY
My name is Christelle N. N. Katanda, I am 24 years old. I live in Ottawa ON, Canada. I graduated from Carleton University in 2020 and currently working with the City of Ottawa. I started I'M LOGiiC in summer 2018, but faced many challenges. I started this online business because one night, (true story), I woke up from a dream that made me want to own my own women's clothing store. I remembered people smiling while wearing my line and being very satisfied with them, I had made the decision to achieve this dream.
I am a Christian and I believe in the fact that God wants us to look good. He has given us all these abilities to make clothes, to make jewelry and shoes, He blessed His servants with fine garments. For those who think Christians should have one way of dressing... You're Wrong! We can look sexy, modest, and dressed down whenever we want. WE DO THAT. I love fashion in whatever form it comes in that appeals to me, and that is okay.
I knew it wasn't going to be easy, I mean after all, I am young, not rich, I had just quit my job to focus on school, to only realize school wasn't my strongest suit, although I still intended to graduate with good grades, it was still very important for me. I was then starting to realize what I might be good at, and that was doing something that helped me engage with people and make them happy through fashion.
We all love clothes, and surely need them, right?
I believe in beautiful, UNIQUE, and great quality clothing, that will make people want more, hence the reason why I said to myself, "I am going to do just that". I noticed my biggest problem shopping online was not trusting whoever was behind it. I want to erase those worries. The clothes you will see are clothing I have purchased myself, or pieces I believe you will love. I research winning products so that my customers don’t have to. Find them all in one store. How great is that? I am in constant communication with the vendors, ensuring fast and safe delivery for my customers.
I have the gift of designing clothing and sewing accessories as well, so I will be adding those to the store in the near future.
Despite the financial problems I dealt with, lack of resources and support, I am still going to push through and do what I love to do.
Through the success I get from this business, I will definitely put it back by doing the work of God in helping orphans and widows across the world, starting with my home, CONGO (DRC).
I'M LOGiiC stands for " LOVE OF GOD is in CHRIST" and that is my life quote and will forever stand by it. Let me share that same LOVE with you.
Thank you for reading,
Christelle N. N. Katanda. 🥰
Update !
Today is July 12, 2020.
I wanted to come and give an update to what is going on in my life.
We are now in quarantine and honestly, just like most out there, are sitting at home isolating themselves, and either working from home or...not having a job anymore. I am among those with no job. So now my job is my online store.
I am constantly on this site, doing my best to perfect it and see what you guys like, so that I could bring them to your attention.
If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to message me.
Update !
it is currently July 27th, 2021, and todays marks my first day working for my new salary employment and I am very blessed. I wanted to share this because this job will help me to support my online store more. Investing in the things I value is key for me. I believe in this business ! I will keep working my hardest on it. I cannot wait to see where this leads me.
I appreciate the support I have gotten since starting and I pray it never ends.
God Bless you all !
Update!
It is currently September 8, 2021 and I am about to do a Christian merch drop. I am so nervous but so excited at the same time. I know you guys will love what I have to offer but it is still scary you know?
I hope you all are doing well honestly, for those who have gone back out there for work or school, keep the courage and keep pushing. We can all get through this together by showing each other love and support.
Anyway, yeah, I didn't want to talk too much but just give a short update.
Love you guys xoxo
