Edith Bosso has never been interested in dreaming small. On this episode of the Black Money Tree Podcast, host Jerome D. Love sits down with entrepreneur and Cocody co-founder Edith Bosso for a conversation about immigration, family, entrepreneurship, hospitality and having the courage to build a life as big as your imagination. Born in Côte d’Ivoire, Edith moved to France at 17 to pursue her education and study fashion in Paris. But marriage, motherhood and an unexpected opportunity eventually brought her family to Houston—and forced her to reinvent herself. Edith shares why she came to see America as a land of opportunity for her children, why she temporarily put her own fashion ambitions aside to focus on their development, and how those sacrifices ultimately became part of a much bigger story. That story eventually led to Cocody, an upscale Houston restaurant inspired by elegance, art, fashion, hospitality and Edith’s African roots. The conversation also explores the power of partnership. Edith discusses how she and her husband balance her instinct to dream big with his more strategic approach, and why finding people who can see and support your vision is essential when you’re trying to accomplish extraordinary things. For entrepreneurs, women, immigrants, parents and anyone carrying a vision that seems bigger than their current circumstances, this episode is a conversation about dreaming big, surrounding yourself with the right people and refusing to let “no” be the end of the conversation.
