Voice
The world we want
A world where love
goes around and comes around
Megumi HAGIUDA
AFRIKA ROSE CEO
Respecting myself and being
deeply present in the moment:
I want to express that joy freely.
Inside of me, a beautiful flower blooms.
It’s filled with love and overflowing
with happiness
I can share with other people.
A world in harmony with nature
where our smiles are as pure
as children’s smiles.

CEO of AFRIKA ROSE. Born 1981 in Tokyo. Graduated from university in the United States and worked for a major pharmaceutical company before going to Kenya as a volunteer in 2011. Seeing the high level of aid dependency there, decided to do something from a business perspective, based on both sides being on an equal footing. Enthralled by Africa’s diverse landscapes, people and cultures, as well as the beauty of its vibrant roses, she founded Afrika no Hanaya in 2012. Opened AFRIKA ROSE, a florist specialising in African roses, in Hiro, Tokyo, in October 2015. Opened a second store, AFRIKA ROSE & FLOWERS, in Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, in April 2019.
