概要
Nobody was making room for designers from the African diaspora. So, she did.
Anika Hobbs is the founder of Nubian Hueman in Washington DC, a retail space centered on designers from the African diaspora. She built it in 2013, before any of this was trending, after asking herself why she could find the same white shirt anywhere in the world but could not find Black designers on a shelf.
In this conversation Anika talks about growing up African American not knowing where the African part came from, the DNA test that gave her a guide star, bringing her lineage to her 104 year old grandmother before she passed, how fashion became a gateway for people to reconnect with their heritage, and what it cost her to build something the world was not ready for yet.
