Abiye L.
founder, Rivers Brides
Abiye is a lawyer, entrepreneur, and the founder of Rivers Brides. In 2021, she launched Rivers Brides after recognizing the lack of adequate representation of Rivers State culture on social media.
With over 650,000 followers across various platforms and a solid community of culture enthusiasts, Abiye has garnered recognition, awards, and collaborations with major brands. She has made a significant impact in showcasing Rivers State culture through weddings thanks to her innovative approach, superb storytelling, and dedication to excellence.
Through her blog, Rivers Brides, Abiye has built a reputable brand that has become the go-to source for information on traditional marriage rites, cultural attire, music, language, food, and other fascinating aspects of Rivers culture. The platform has also sparked thought-provoking dialogue on the diverse culture, traditions, and way of life of the Rivers people and Nigerians at large.
Though the brand has expanded into covering different aspects of events, the core remains the culture and tradition of the Rivers people. Her brand has also been instrumental in amplifying the work of creatives, entrepreneurs, and change-makers, empowering others and creating opportunities for growth.
