Rimeks - “Welcoming Workplaces” by Cape Breton Local Immigration Partnership

We’re proud to share that Rimeks Bags & Brands Inc. has been featured in the Welcoming Workplaces video series, coordinated by the Cape Breton Local Immigration Partnership (CBLIP) and produced by Rogers TV. This initiative showcases the power of inclusivity in the workplace, and how newcomer voices are helping shape a more welcoming Cape Breton.

Building a Culture of Inclusion at Rimeks

The feature highlights the multicultural team behind Rimeks:

Rita Umoren, Co-Founder & CEO (Nigeria)

Chen Lu, Product Manager (China)

Mahima Rajanbabu, Operations Assistant (India)

Victor Agara, Business Support (Nigeria)

Each team member brings unique experiences, skills, and stories that contribute to the diverse fabric of our business. At Rimeks, we don’t just embrace inclusivity—we live it every day through collaboration, creativity, and mutual respect.

A Platform for Newcomer Stories

The Welcoming Workplaces series is a part of CBLIP’s ongoing efforts to spotlight employers and organizations across Unama’ki – Cape Breton who are setting an example in fostering inclusive environments. These stories encourage others in the community to build workplaces where diversity is seen as strength.

We are honored to represent one of many businesses making a difference, and thrilled to see our values of inclusion and empowerment reflected through this initiative.

A Shared Commitment to Community

Rita’s leadership, along with the diverse team at Rimeks, shows how immigrant entrepreneurs and multicultural teams can build something beautiful together. As Rita often says, “We bring in our culture, and people like it.” That culture isn’t just in the vibrant designs—it’s in the values we uphold and the connections we build with our customers and community.

We extend our gratitude to the Cape Breton Partnership and Rogers TV Sydney for their support in sharing our story and encouraging inclusive practices across Cape Breton.
