"What I hope that God does through me, is for the image of the African woman to be changed to something luxurious, or desired, or sought after. For the demand of the African woman to go upā¦ Let us not be chasing foreign things, let us be something to be chased. And that canāt just happen with me; itās a together thing. It has to happen with a whole industry of women already doing real and amazing things. Thatās the future."
