The Aftermath of The 2 Chains Concert; What You Need to Know #DesignYourDestiny
So the 2 Chains concert went down last night; great performances and a whole lot of excitement. And he really brought the house down dropping hit after hit as the crowd went wild. What really set him apart though was the aura of stardom he oozed out throughout the show. How he was dressed, how he talked and basically how he carried himself.
This got me thinking as to how many of you are seated home right now with so much talent and potential to be famous and attain world recognition to give the Atlanta star a run for his money. Is it possible? It wasn’t until Equity came to save the day and introduced the Vijana Na Equity initiative.
This is a platform aimed at nurturing talent and they are starting off with recognizing fashion designers so if you’re there and you think you’ve got it, make your submission and see yourself enter the highway to success. And please hurry since the submission close on Monday the 15th.
From the 22nd, these submissions will go through a panel of judges where 40 contestants will be selected from the bunch. And you won’t believe who is making the selections. I’m talking the likes of Linda Muriithi; former Capital FM presenter and now Managing Director in the Bag, a company that organized two editions of a Fashion Week in Ethiopia-the hub of Africa Fashion Week. Basically she’s the epitome of fashion in East Africa if not the whole of Africa. There is also Franklin Saiyalel who is simply the leading male fashion blogger in the country. He keeps tabs on the latest International fashion trends and updates you through his various social media platforms. And there are not alone, other well acclaimed fashionistas will be in the lineup.
Once they make their selections, then you’ll be subjected to public voting which will last for 7 days. Yes, your designs will be put out there for everyone to sample and you can be lest assured it’s only moving forward from there henceforth. Even if you don’t get selected, someone will obviously notice giving you the perfect platform to start your own fashion line.
From the 12-14 of January 2015, the selected group will go through rigorous training before the ultimate winner is crowned and trust me you want to be that person. Apart from being the subject of discussion by the media and of course paparazzi’s crumbling to take photos of you, you’ll also get trained for free on financial management by Equity who we all know are the financial experts. This is important for the management of the business empire you’ll be scheduled to establish.
And that is not all. There will also be a fully paid trip to showcase your selection at the Hub of Africa Fashion week in Ethiopia among a myriad of other great prizes.
Now tell me whether that isn’t a dream come true and destiny fulfilled?
