In 2015, Tehilah embarked on a transformative journey to illuminate the richness of African culture and empower women of all sizes through vibrant and elegant clothing.
OFUURE's distinctive designs have earned widespread acclaim, transcending borders and resonating within the African diaspora and beyond. Worn by prominent celebrities such as Tia Mowry, Kelly Rowland, Nicole Ari Parker, Issa Rae, Yvonne Orji, Gabby Sidibe, Danielle Brooks, and Tracey Moore, Tehilah has become a beacon of inspiration for black entrepreneurs and creators.
In 2016, Richard and Hakeem met through a mutual connection and together, they created a personalized made-to-measure clothing service for men that satisfies work, play, and celebratory requirements.

Having initially pursued a different career as a Civil Engineer, Emefa's love of fashion became more compelling. By 2017, she left her corporate job to study at one of Canada's top fashion schools, George Brown College. In 2019, soon after graduating, Emefa launched ISRAELLA KOBLA, the Toronto-based women's clothing and accessories brand that is bringing more personality to the minimal aesthetic.
Since launching at Vancouver Fashion Week in 2019, ISRAELLA KOBLA has been featured in magazines such as Elle, Flare, Fashion, and The KIT to name a few. They have also been featured nationwide on Cityline, Breakfast TV Toronto, and The Marilyn Dennis Show.
