Q. How do you think your style incorporates/blends elements of your African and LGBTQ identity?
“The African identity is like… I feel like I don’t have to prove it – I’m black and that talks by itself. I think because I had this experience of always being identified as outsider because of black – [being] African – made me understand that I am incorporating African identity any way. It’s not enclosed but it’s just in myself. I like to add African accessories but when I look in the mirror I directly see my African identity.
And for the queer part it’s being able to wear whatever I feel comfortable and empowered in. Whatever is masculine, feminine or gender neutral or androgynous without having a second thought about it.”
