10 people dedicated to quality and 1 not. In the mathematics of quality that means 10 -1 =0 . So the tailors are top-notch, the embroidery artist is top-notch, the designers are top-notch, and then it goes to one person trusted to iron a trim a shirt who does not give a hoot and all the work that came before it is ruined. The customer gets a poorly presented product from the most talented people on Earth because of one person that holds to different values. As for the image of Africans matching and beating Europe and Asia? Well, that just went out the window. 

Malcolm X said, if chickens are raised in an oven they are called chickens, not biscuits. People on the continent of Africa just like people in the Diaspora have been visited by the same level of destruction. In Africa, as in the UK as in America, as in South America as in the Caribbean have devalued our own clothes. We have Nike in Africa as our uniform just like in the UK. A friend of mine from Tanzania at uni told me we in the Diaspora have no culture.

Political correctness makes a lot of statements to make the average joe feel like they have some share in power. But Is beauty in the eye of the beholder? Absolutely not

Every company writes a beautiful write-up on how they are dedicated to customer care. But we are judged only by our actions, not our pretty words. How strong is a bridge?

Do you have to be "pretty" to be a model? Well, that is only one consideration. These days they putting anyone on the cover of Vogue. Because what places like Vogue like to do is SHOCK YAH! So skinny, asexual, dehydrated, and anemic might be the new look for them. Vogue etc is not into diversity, they are into shock.
