1. We all know Malaika Nnyanzi but what does she think of herself? Describe your self in a few lines

Hardworking. Passionate. Ambitious. I take life and myself very seriously.  If I want it, I won’t stop till I get it. I have occasionally been accused of being stubborn (Lies.? Don’t believe them?).

2. Can you describe your personal fashion style in a sentence or two? 

Honestly, I dress how I feel. As long as I am comfortable and it’s appropriate for the occasion, I will wear it.

3. What fashion items take the most of your money and why? 

SHOES SHOES SHOES.

I am obsessed. I don’t even know why. But I can miss a meal to buy shoes (keep in mind that I really like food?).

4. What style in the ladies section rubs you the wrong way? For me, it’s the extremely tight jeans. The one kind direction what’s that for you? 

Velvet anything. I can’t stand velvet. Maybe it’s cause when I was little, our couches were velvet.

5. Any person’s fashion style that inspires your own? 

So many. But off the top of my head, Folake Huntoon. Bonang Matheba. Rihanna.

6. What stale trends should chics ditch? 

I think ombre braids have run their course. Especially the grey ones.They had a good run but no no nedda let’s leave them be.

7. Any advice for the fashion fanatics out there? More so those that really love your fashion style.

Know what works for you and stick to it. But remember, the only way that you can know if it works is if you try it.  So take a risk. Learn from it.
