In the now-trending clip, the excited fan confessed that she booked the high-end consultation only because she wanted to meet the woman she had looked up to for years.

The woman told Veekee James that she had followed her journey closely and wanted to connect with her beyond the screen.
She stated:
“I know you charge a premium because you’ve built something extraordinary. I didn’t come for a dress, I came to meet my role model.”
Rather than ending the session abruptly, Veekee James made the moment count.
She decided to turn the surprise into a one-on-one mentorship session, sharing insights on business growth, brand consistency, and maintaining excellence in a competitive industry.
The designer expressed how deeply moved she was by the woman’s gesture.
She stated:
“I never imagined someone would pay just to spend time with me like this. It’s truly humbling. It shows me that what I’m doing is bigger than fashion—it’s about purpose.”

"I love this for Veekee ❤️ on the other, I'm taking this as a lesson for my brand too. We might not look like it now as it is an upcoming brand and I'm not going to fast track this 'process stage'. I trust God to take my brand far beyond my wildest imagination. Amen"
@thesandypreneur:
"She knows ball! Pay for access! It changes everything. Watched her video last night and I saw her mention Veekee proposed a collaboration or something around that. Business owners who get it, get it. Those who don't won't and that's okay"
