    I discovered this dynamic young woman while watching The View and was blown away. Not only beautiful outside, but inside. But, most of all, she overcame a childhood of abuse to become a major player in fashion design. Love her theme of diversity and empowerment while designing for all. Thanks for posting.

    Definitely need this story with all the war and genocide going on in the world. One day our grandkids will ask us why we allowed our civilization to crumble and what will our answer be I wonder

      Indeed, the answer will be war and genocide. Which is why brands like hers and The Little Market are great, they make local impact in 3rd world economies, making them hopefully more robust to the devastating results of war and genocide. We should all hope to drive our consumerism through compassion, over capitalism and status (often the driving forces behind war and genocide).

    Does she support and work with African American artisans? Appears she looks for cheaper alternatives and outsources. Does 15% of Nordstrom’s clientele represent African Americans or are they just virtue signaling? This was a huge BS marketing campaign. Bravo.

    • @figgettit
      @figgettit Год назад +6

      never mind that she stole the original design which is a traditional South African heritage design. she is just a glorified marketing executive. this is like a chef going to Oaxaca and "bringing back mole". I guess she feels like everything in Africa is "hers" or something.

    • @jalynjohnson
      @jalynjohnson Год назад +12

      She works with artisans all over the world and provides them with a full salary. Her company uses the traditional materials in the respective native countries. African Americans are the largest consumers in this country so it makes sense for corporations to include them in the process. Also you don’t have to be black to shop from a black owned brand. Just like you don’t have to be white to shop from a white owned brand. Very ignorant comment and spreading false information and negativity.

    • @jalynjohnson
      @jalynjohnson Год назад +7

      @@figgettit she works directly with the artisans and makes that well known. She just slightly altered the original design as a creative director does but gives full credit to its origins. She is supporting so many artisans all over the world. So much hate for someone making such a good impact.

    My goodness all James is talking about is quotas. In America we've always had quotas for employment. It's now moved to designers.
