Quotes
[edit]- As Africans, sustainability has always been ingrained in our culture. We've practiced sustainability for generations. Perhaps it's because our fashion industry hasn't reached full maturity that we haven't fully showcased these practices.
- God himself is an artis, we can see everything he created art is everything you see.
- Education is the key to bridging the gaps in our technical skills, business knowledge, branding, marketing, and positioning.
- My faith in God and my self belief. I believe a lot in myself. You don’t have to rely on anyone and you can help yourself you can do stuff by yourself. My parents are paramilitary, so I’ve always grown up to have that mind set of whatever you want you can achieve, My dad will never help you bribe anybody, or help you talk to anyone to get you a job or a placement anywhere… So I have that self believe that what ever I want if I work hard at it, if I follow the right way and I do the right things I will get it… and I have faith in God.
