As many of you know, although I was born in the United States, my family roots are from the Ivory Coast and the Congo. So I was very excited to be contacted by local student Rita Bunatal to help support a new Pan-African apparel company she is developing called Malaika Apparel Co. The brand, which seeks to empower and inspire those across the diaspora recently launched and you can show your support by checking them out on their brand new website: http://www.malaikaapparel.com/. And for more fun modeling pictures, head to Malaika’s facebook page and give it a like.
