Dressing up in hand-me-downs
Just when I thought my modelling
days were over this happened.
Thanks to Sandy…(and everyone else involved, including Alex) I had the wonderful opportunity to be involved with the TCS’s charity shop edition in Cambridge.

I couldn’t have asked for much more than my
handsome co-model Humza.
This was fun and all in the name of charity too… thanks!

From Italy with Love - Prada Glasses
A few presents I received whilst
in Rome, Prada Baroque Collection Frames. I love Prada’s baroque trend which
seems to have escalated to Dolce and Gabbana and Fendi..ect
In Rome, baroque architecture is a prominent features across the
city. The core features of Baroque architecture intends to intend to
convey emotion through art, hence the unique style of the frames seen in the first
pair. The second pair is an oversized round shape with thick rims. Larger
frames tend to suit my face shape a lot better and of course they are stylish too. x

Cape Coast Castle - Ghana
Walking into Cape Coast
Castle, you breath in the stench of death.
I cannot even begin to
imagine the anguish, anxiety and pain endured by thousands.
The white washed walls
are deceptive because there is no light in that castle.
Rather than depicting
light and cleanliness, the white colour masks blood on the walls.
The Gate of no return.
Cape Coast Castle played the central role of holding slaves during the Atlantic slave trade.
If you do not know anything about the Atlantic slave trade, I would recommend watching La Amistad,1997 as a starting point.
Wish you were here! "Ada - Accra"
Welcome
to Ada. Located in the eastern region of Greater Accra, Ada is a former
trading post for palm oil, palm kernels and rubber. Ada has evolved into
a major tourist attraction with miles of coconut palm trees and clean golden sandy
beaches.
The
peacefulness of Ada allowed us to experience rare tranquility as form a of
escapism from the stresses of Cambridge and the city life. Indeed, whilst
breathing in the fresh clean air, I was reminded that tranquility matters for
everyone.
Hidden from flight
paths, roads and souvenir shops, Ada has some beautiful natural landscapes
which ought to be conserved and preserved for the
future. Unfortunately, parts of the coast lines are eroding and
washing away the town’s buildings into the sea.
