Meet Fashion Designer Margaret Persaud
Gamakache Black was a lifelong dream that came alive in 2000 by Founder & CEO, Margaret Persaud. Plans or her company was set aside due to the disappointment of trying to connect with a great partner to help with building her business.
In 2007, her passion came alive after the death of my brother, Germaine Persaud. She created T-shirts and clothing in his memories. Persaud just wanted him to see she made her childhood dream happen. In 2010, she found a business partner, William Reid. Her partner seems to have all the qualities Persaud was seeking to drive her business. Gamakache Black is a new era of Black Clothing for every occasion to fulfill all Black Clothing needed for men and woman.
The Power of Fashion event will be held on September 21, 2019, at the historic Perry Belmont House, 1618 New Hampshire Ave., NW Washington, DC 20009.
