WMAR — An entrepreneur, turned CEO, is using her brand to shine a light on little girls everywhere.

When April Showers first came up with Afro Unicorn in 2019, it started with t-shirts and years later more than 20 products that are now featured in major retail stores like Target and Walmart, next to big name toy brands like Marvel and Nickelodeon.

Showers says even though she started small she always knew the brand would be big.
