The concept of an Afrocentric fashion brand that is socially responsible and effective was born in my friendship with Kuda Biza back in the day at St Patrick’s High School, Gweru, Zimbabwe. We were both in the interact club and found creative ways to raise money to buy groceries for less fortunate children in Chiwundura. Growing up in Africa, we know what poverty is and believe education to be its cure; education, not just going to school... but school is an important foundation for educating someone. Without it, ideas are lost in communication and potential is wasted. This tragedy occurs in Africa time and again. Ignorance perpetuates poverty. A family that can invest in its children’s future has the opportunity to rise

from poverty; but orphans have no inheritance and few invest permanently in their lives, let alone education. The odd donation to an orphanage is welcome, but creates expectation and hope for more donations, which may not come.. and so the orphanage cannot continue with their important work. We hope one day to be building schools and shelter and donating all kinds of money and resource as we intend to underwrite Africa’s future with our movement. Until the day we are that big, we can do small but profound actions today that will change lives. This is why, through the Amani Hope Foundation, when we donate, we offer the scholar coverage of their education-

al cost until they finish high school and also mentor and follow up on their progress. This is paid for by part of the proceeds from our t-shirt sales. This, we hope, will give them a support network and role models that they did not have. We hope that our scholars will become mentors in the future and that we can truly educate AFRica; One shirt at a time. A part of this passion to give back and grant opportunity through education personifies the AFR Clothing ethos. Instead of cutting a cheque for an orphanage (which they need, but creates expectation for other cheques to continue their great work), we have been able to identify high potential individuals and give them a focussed effort and chance.

ing force for AFR Clothing. Miguel Antunes has also been there for us. Black Violin, Voicemail, Striker “Bunny” Lee and many other talented musicians and producers are with us. Teurai Chanakira has posed for prestigious covers in our t-shirts, in Australia. Adam Vered and Jonathan Harris were instrumental in our early website design and business plan development. Our identity has always been unmistakably African, with a contemporary finish. We believe that we can delight the world with a subtly African and yet authenticly “ours” brand. We have taken orders from China, Italy, UK, Tanzania, Zimbabwe.... we are a global Afrocentric brand and our heart is in Africa.

The Amani Hope Scholarship is not just tuition (for their whole primary and high school) but also includes a mentoring and support framework which improves their chances of success. Our brand ambassadors are actively involved and all say that the experience was life-changing. Kuda and I worked to design, create and establish Authentic Fashion Renaissance, which is AFR Clothing. We have enjoyed massive growth in the USA, Bermuda, Zimbabwe and extend into Italy, France and China. Our impact so far has been felt in Zimbabwe, Ghana, South Africa and Bermuda. We intend to spread the love in the whole of Africa. Our vision has no bounds and our team is superb. Alexander Star has been an amaz-

AFR Clothing has had a presence in the UK’s sub-culture for over 4 years. We probably inspired some of the rise in Afrocentric apparel and are part of an identity movement. We have also had brand events in Canterbury, Chelsea and Central London. We have engaged a number of outlets for strategic partnerships and will have a stronger presence in the new year. As our brand’s focus has been in the USA and Bermuda, we intend to bring a confidence and resolute strength about the identity of AFR Clothing as a global brand and as a force for good as our eye turns to Europe and the rest of the world. The UK is where fashion happens and we are excited to be here. Our first polo shirt (which was also my debut design), is a classic and will soon be available in the UK, along with our amazing array of apparel that enable our customers to Look Good Whilst Doing Good. My personal favourites are the “Jambo” tee and the “Love Conquers All” tee. You can order these today on our

With a BSc in Actuarial Science from Kent university and a flair for entrepreneurship, I believe myself to be a high potential individual. I love fashion and music. I play the piano and keyboards too and have performed at the BEFFTAs with Royal Destiny and Word Play The Poet. I am passionate about Africa and my current ringtone is by Paul Matavire. I used to play Rugby for Canterbury city (and was top try scorer for 2 seasons). I have always believed that African fashion needs to be more subtle and clever than the obvious loud yellow dress with green embroidery. Having said that, I am unapologetic about my identity, having been born in Zimbabwe and lived there through my formative years. I am currently working in recruitment; building a Risk Management Recruitment consultancy as well as mentoring high potential individuals to strive to be the best. I am grounded by my faith; I am a Christian. My family own my heart. We are a large (and growing) family and are very close to one another. My parents have invested in uncles, aunts, cousins’ education and I have seen families transform as opportunity and options open for them. AFR Clothing to me is the embodiment of the ideals I strive towards; creativity, generosity, confidence in identity and genuine desire to make a positive to the world.

Alexander Star #THISISMYERA EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW “AN ARTIST READY TO BRING CHANGE

EFFUSE MAGAZINE

EXCLUSIVEINTERVIEW When I met Kuda Biza –AFR Clothing’s Co-founder and Chief Donor – in 2010, our visions immediately lined up and our business relationship was solidified. We created the Amani Hope Tour, in which we travel to campuses across the country spreading awareness of global issues through fashion and music. We also started the Amani Hope Foundation, the non-profit arm of AFR Clothing that provides academic scholarships to children in need. Together, AFR Clothing and I are providing education, style and entertainment to the world with love. We now have limited edition #ThisIsMyEra hoodies available on our website: www.AFRclothing.com! CAN YOU TELL US A BIT ME ABOUT #THISISMYERA AND THE CONCEPT BEHIND IT? I originally started writing “This Is My Era” in 2011 to pitch to the Olympic Committee as the theme song for the 2012 Olympic Games. It came from a vision of triumph

anything great is sticking with it, even when you don’t see the results you’re hoping for. Ten years ago I knew I was talented and wondered why I wasn’t famous already. It wasn’t until God humbled me that I realized why great things take time to happen. If I made it big back then, I might have had a few hits but they would’ve been meaningless in message and hollow in value. It took these years of struggle and experience to refine myself and polish my purpose. Now I have much more to offer than talent alone; I have wisdom and a testimony.

over challenge and adversity. The project got put on hold, but I re-awakened it in 2014 and it eventually became aligned with the Millennium Campus Network and UNICEF. The #ThisIsMyEra movement represents the mind-state of those of us who take the stars and align them ourselves. We hold ourselves to high standards as a way of life, knowing that our good hearts and good deeds will have a profound impact on this world – even if we don’t feel it right away. It’s a conscious movement, supported by world-changers and visionaries who understand that the time to make a difference is right now. Clothing and I are providing education, style and entertainment to the world with love. We now have limited edition #ThisIsMyEra hoodies available on our website: www.AFRclothing.com!

organizations like UNICEF and the Millennium Campus Network. I co-wrote “Come to Me,” the official theme song of Feeding South Florida, a huge branch of Feeding America. I also co-wrote “Strong and Kind,” the theme song for KIND Snacks and the Kevin Durant Foundation. In addition, I teach Songwriting, Vocal Production and Pro-Tools Engineering to inner city youth in Miami as a Lyrical Expression Instructor at the Motivational Edge – a nonprofit after-school entity providing outlets of creative expression for kids ages 5 through 18. So instead of being in the streets after school, kids can come to our facility and learn to write, play instruments, do art, and record; but we teach them to express themselves honestly and without using profanity or degrading women and the community as a whole.

WOULD YOU SAY YOU ARE WHERE YOU WANT TO BE AND NOT WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE NEXT 3 YEARS? I like to take life one day at a time; so regardless of where I think I want to be, I always know that I’m right where I’m supposed to be in each moment. Three years from now I see the Amani Hope Tour not only having constant dates, but expanded featured acts and progressive partnerships with other world changers; I see my son in private school in Minnesota (don’t know why, but I wanna raise my family in

I think these are some solid goals for an upcoming three-year journey.


DECEMBER / JANUARY

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST INSPIRATION SO FAR? A few years back, after I released my first album No Hype – Just Hope, I received a phone call from a man I’d never met before. A friend of mine had loaned him my album, and he got my number and reached out to me to give me this message: “Star, your music is so divinely purposeful that you don’t even realize how significant you are yet. I know you think that no one is listening because you don’t have a huge following. I know you’re discouraged because people haven’t caught on to your movement of positivity. You’re so early for class that you’re sitting in an empty room with the lights off thinking that no one is coming; but soon you’ll notice the room filling up beyond capacity, and when the lights come on you’ll stand up to realize that you’re the professor!!!” That stranger’s message is my

greatest inspiration so far. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO OTHER UPCOMING ARTIST? The advice I would give to other upcoming artists would depend greatly on their intentions. If you just want to ex-

the music industry, I’d say that being an artist is overrated. You have to be so much more than an artist; you have to be a business. The music industry is run by businessmen – not artists – so unless you yourself want to get “run” by people who only care about pimpin’ you out then you’d better educate

“I WRITE LIFE – WATCH THE PAPER TURN BACK TO A press yourself in a creative and artistic manner, I’d say to do it without limitations. People notice and pay attention to you when you’re comfortable with yourself, no question about it. But for someone who wants to seriously pursue a career in

yourself quick. The best way to get noticed is to find your own voice and start your own movement. That’s when you become valuable. ANY WORDS OF ADVICE TO OUR READERS?

By now you have a good idea of who I am and what I’m about. If my words mean anything to you, believe me when I say that every little thing you do in this life matters. Every decision you make has an effect; so make your decisions based on the type of effect you want them to have. Go to www.ThisIsMyEra. com and watch the video we shot all around the world. Share it with people you believe to be world-changers, and carry this mindset with you everywhere you go. Peace, blessings and love from Alexander Star to all of you. #ThisIsMyEra.

BAISON KUGZ Fashion Concierge I’m a fashion stylist and a personal shopper. My goal is to bring out the best in everyone by putting together looks that are stylish and suit their personality (and budget!). I like to be honest in my consultations- I think my clients need to hear what does or doesn’t work for them. I offer consultations for different needs: advice about one- off pieces; day-to- day styling advice & shopping trips for those wardrobe overhauls. They say you are a product of your environment and the environment I grew up in was a very creative one! My mother used to knit, crochet and be a seamstress, she had a business designing and making clothes for clients- when you grow up surrounded by fabrics and patterns, it becomes a ‘normal’ way of life. For me, clothing, textiles and tailoring became part of me and it has been a natural progression into styling and men’s fashion. I love the satisfaction that comes with creating new looks and playing around with colour and patterns.

and daring! Stand out in the crowd by mixing your A/W colours with a statement pattern such as the tartan of the highlands or the dog- tooth check brought back from the 60’s. The texture of different materials can also add to your look- shop around for corduroys, cable-knit sweaters, tweed or hints of fur. Jackets and coats can also become interesting; items with a mix of quilted pattern and corduroy patches make for an interesting look as does mixing a heavier tailored wool coat with a fur collar.

he changing temperatures bring out the chunky knits, cashmere sweaters and overcoats- this is when the

art of layering becomes perfected. It goes without saying that this is the season in which we want to be warm but stylish so therefore our wardrobe needs reflect this. Having a mixture of heavier coats and jackets alongside lighter jumpers and tops allows us to layer and protect ourselves from the elements while still looking good. Just because the weather dictates the need for a chunky jumper, it does not mean you can’t still look dapper- pair it with a patterned shirt and a bow tie to add a touch of class to your winter look! Alternatively, read on for more information on how the use of accessories can really keep you dapper this season.

By Mellissa Dzinzi

It has been one hell of a year sounds cliché but it really has been a roller coaster year. It was definitely a year of growth and self worth, if you see yourself in the same position you were in last year and you’re still unhappy, your year must have been a waste. We’re too busy growing we almost forget to do the important things like dropping any baggage we don’t need around us including harmful relationships. Self worth has been the talk of the year, from relationships to the ones own personal style. You name it! Everyone has focused on this term some without realising. For some it meant idolising celebrities and others ending pointless relationships and starting afresh, going to university and exploring or taking advantage their new found freedom, it’s all about the experience. we mustn’t forget anything we learnt through 2014 or previous years, take the lessons into 2015 & grow wiser , whether in love or in faith, there’s some things we are afraid to do because we’re scared to get judged, leave that in 2014 and learn to build without the approval of others. Cliché but it’s the only thing that has held many people back.

Grow in love and in faith. Watch how everything around you will change. Have a happy new year.

hether we realise it, accept it, acknowledge it or not, our society plays a big role in shaping our characters. We have very little control over that; however, we have all the control in the world over just how society influences us. Some circmstances we find ourselves in affect our characters negatively, while others inspire us to make a positive change. I am a young African female living in a country where I’m part of the ethnic minorities, where I’m constantly reminded I don’t really belong. I used to be so conscious of how different I am to everybody else around me; brown skin, kinky hair, big bum and curves. In high school, I felt completely out of place amongst slim girls with a gap between their thighs and what was

conceived a “normal” bum; barely there but not entirely flat as a wall. Many times I was made to feel less attractive, less beautiful and less “girly” because I did not have straight hair, a smaller bum, a slim body or thinner lips. This started a series of events that made me try to change myself for all the wrong reasons. I immediately relaxed my hair and started getting weaves or braids for the sole purpose of looking tame and fitting in.Weaves made me feel normal as I could choose a nice, straight weave or a wavy one with bangs and look like every other girl at school. I also tried so hard to go on a strict diet to lose all that “fat” on my bum, as I remember vividly one girl at school during P.E sessions telling me to move my fat butt out of her way. I did lose weight, but the butt was going nowhere! What I failed to realise was that this mentality has actually been

We can learn to be great life-partners who support their spouses through thick and thin from Michelle Obama and we can learn to love who we are and embrace ourselves and follow our dreams because of the courage and hard work portrayed by Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o.We can become leading, powerful women in the world and rely on our own strengths like Folorunsho Alakija the richest African woman in the world who owns an oil company and many other businesses. This Black History Month, I hope to encourage anybody out there struggling to love and embrace themselves due to any negativity they receive from some ignorant people.

imposed on black women for centuries and centuries in an effort to diminish their natural beauty as compared to their Caucasian “madams” during the slavery times. I recently came across a post on Instagram which really caught my eye and helped me to write this article, even I wish I’d read this 4 years ago when I struggled to fully embrace myself. Before weaves came to be, many, many years ago, (roughly three centuries ago to be precise), black women were not allowed to wear their natural hair. In 1785, women of colour were required to wear a fabric cloth called a tignon (or tiyon) to cover their hair as part of the “Bando du buen gobierno” (Edict for Good Government) during the Spanish colonialism by Governor Esteban Rodriguez Miró. This was done to keep the social order of that time, assuring that women of colour remained beneath other women when it came to beauty and “fashion”. Women of colour have always rocked great hairstyles with their natural hair, which drew so much attention (and unwanted attention) from their white employers, thus making the white women feel threatened by their black counterparts. Apparently, white men pursuing affairs often “mistook” upperclass white women for light-skinned mixed-race women and approached them in an improper manner. Nowadays we’ve got women like Michelle Obama, Lupita Nyong’o, Folorunsho Alakija and the late Maya Angelou and Rosa Parks to look up to when it comes to the empowerment of black women in modern society. We can learn our values and life lessons from Maya Angelou’s poetry, which has helped many troubled young girls and women come out of their shells, work at improving their lives and stand up for themselves. We can learn of the power of standing up for our rights and to advocate for our communities from Rosa Parks and

are questioning the justice behind the nations system and why black lives don’t matter. Such issues have affected not only the black community in America but also around the world, influencing campaigns and protest. It’s not about race but coming together for justice. However more concerns have risen soon after the grand jury rulings of Eric Garner and Mike Brown. Some articles across the Internet claim that Eric and Mike where responsible for their own death as they committed crimes just moments before their own death. The first question that comes first to mind after the grand jury decision and many other young black victims included, does racism still exist in America? Many have answered yes to question because just like Trayvon Martin wearing a hooded jacket walking down the streets and shot dead. Why be suspicious just because his black in a hooded jacket his up to no good. Walking free but with blood on their hands, the power of hierarchy in the society. What makes it difficult to understand is the fact that wearing a uniform and having a gun results in you having the power to kill even when the victim is not a victim of nothing wrong. Celebrities and the black community have come together campaigning for the safety of the black community and how black lives actually matter but not just a free pass to be killed. Our skin colour might be different but we are all one

America is a land of the free, but where is the justice for a black man?

He felt as though his creativiry was being limited at the same time trying to fit in where he clearly knew he was an outcast. Suffering from constant depression & homesickness his pain is felt through his artwork. This what triggered a new wave of inspiration for him ceating several practically identical works, upon which thoughts that have apparently just been developed are manifested: notes are made and then crossed out again, ‘mistakes’ are repeated. His artworks are often classified as part of the new romantic movement because of the desire for the local in the unfolding globalized world. However, this reference is not intentional, as this kind of art is part of the collective memory. By demonstrating the omnipresent lingering of a ‘corporate world’, he creates with daily, recognizable elements, an unprecedented situation in which the viewer is confronted with the conditioning of his own perception and has to reconsider his biased position. He isolate the movements of humans and/or objects. By doing so, new sequences are created which reveal an inseparable relationship between motion and sound. By creating situations and breaking the passivity of the spectator, he finds that movement reveals an inherent awkwardness, a humour that echoes our own vulnerabilities. The artist also considers movement as a metaphor for the ever-seeking man who experiences a continuous loss. The artwork appear as dreamlike images in which fiction and reality meet, well-known tropes merge, meanings shift, past and present fuse. Time and memory always play a key role. By experimenting with aleatoric processes, he creates

His works directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. By applying abstraction, he wants to amplify the astonishment of the spectator by creating compositions or settings that generate tranquil poetic images that leave traces and balances on the edge of recognition and alienation. His works doesn’t reference recognisable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted.

JOE SHYNA ZIMAA Chairman Outstanding Award winning Joe Shyna is has been recording music since the age of 12 and it all started with a love for rap music by the likes of Jay Z, Biggie and Eminem. Born in Zimbabwe, his family migrated to Southend on sea where he grew up. The fusion of cultures and sounds enabled him to develop a love for creating music of different textures and not conform to the norm. Last year he debuted a promotional single ‘Make my Heart Go’ produced by Melvitto. It is an Afro Pop song that uses signature Afro sounds but manages to blend a catchy churchlike chorus with slick rapping and sultry verses. This year he released ‘Status’ and ‘Shake it’ off his first Afro dance EP ‘King of the Savannah’ as a solo artist. The releases of the new singles helped to keep supporters interested and further assisted in his rise from the underground. This gained him recognition amongst the midlands club and party scene. This in turn made it possible for him to perform as an opening act one of Africa’s largest comedians Basket mouth in Manchester as well as the closing act at his Birmingham show.Joe Shyna has got a couple of exciting things up his sleeve. The new entry artist to the Afro beats scene has released a brand new viral video for his upcoming single, “Can you Handle dat” produced by Charlie Kay.

#EyebrowsOnFleek I’m sure you are all aware of the hashtag going around lately for sexy shaped eyebrows Eyebrows on Fleek which is eyebrows looking groomed, highlighted and filled in with a defined shape. Sometimes eyebrows can be our worst nightmare..Discovering the best shape for your eyebrows can be a pain! Especially when trying not compromise on a natural appearance. A lot of people know the eyebrow look they want but don’t know how to achieve it. What is it that you want to accomplish when shaping your brows? What kind of eyebrows do you have currently? A pencil thin look? Natural defined brows? Highlighted and enhanced? Or an overgrown untouched look? With all these questions it’s no wonder some eyebrows can look more surprising, rather than complimentary! The shape of your eyebrows can really enhance the shape of your face and your eyes. Having the best shape can heighten your make up look, as well as your overall appearance. So below here are EyebrowsOnFleek 101: Tweezer Maintenance The eyebrow consists of three points the arch, length, and thickness of the eyebrow, so if you find the eyebrow hairs hard to grip with your tweezers, I think it’s time to buy a new one! One important tip with eyebrows is to make sure there clean after each use. Wipe them down and keep them separate from all your make up products. Don’t Over Do It Over Plucked, over Waxed and even over Threaded eyebrows tend to make your brows over time, look uneven. It’s essential that you give your brows time to grow. Full eyebrows are gracing the catwalks and magazine covers across the world so thin is out and fuller and natural eyebrows are in! If you have thin eyebrows try and avoid plucking and visiting your eyebrow bar too often. Let them grow them out it may take a while…but it will be worthwhile! Eyebrows Arch Point Find your natural arch by looking for your eyebrow’s highest point, sometimes both of your eyebrows may not naturally be the same shape. Visit an eyebrow bar or a waxing/ threading professional to get both your eyebrows matching with the same arch point. Sleek & Groomed Eyebrows Just because you’ve reached your desired shape, doesn’t mean it has to stop there! After creating your desired shape you’ll want to take it a step further and have a natural polished look. Use your Eyebrow brush, even use some eyebrow wax or clear mascara to set and comb to tame any stray hairs and get your eyebrows in tip top shape.
