Broadcaster and businesswoman, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi, is celebrating three years of her shoe line named Gbemisoke.

“3 YEARS OF @fbemisokeshoes. If you have ever bought /worn a pair or more – Thank you for changing my life. God bless you,” the 33-year-old wrote in an Instagram post on Monday.


Gbemi, a manager at Megalectrics Ltd – operators of The Beat FM, Classic FM and Naija FM – launched her shoe line in 2015.

“I decided when I was a teenager that one day I would own my own shoe line. I really love shoes and it was so difficult to find my size.

“Women like me, who wear size 41 and above, it is very difficult to find nice shoes. Stores rarely have big sizes available and when they do, they sell out quickly. After suffering from this issue for such a long time, I decided to proffer a solution for myself and other women with big feet, thus Gbemisoke Shoes were born,” she said in a 2016 interview with Punch.

The shoe brand has been worn by celebrities like Makida Moka, Wunmi Obe, Buki Sawyer, Taje Prest, Sharon Ojong, Latasha Ngwube, Estanola Oyelese and Delphine Okobah.
