fashionABLE and Mocha Club created an exclusive scarf and pocket tee to further tell the story of “I need Africa” -- challenging the perception that Africa needs only our pity & charity, and instead seeing to reveal the truth that its people have much to offer. The scarf and the pocket (crafted from a fashionABLE scarf) are made by Africans who have been given new opportunity. These products symbolize the heart behind INA: that Africa, with all its need, has much to give & teach us.
Both products are available in the Mocha Club store, or are being given as a FREE incentive for joining Mocha Club as a monthly supporter! Check out the I NEED AFRICA page to learn more.I Need Africa: a collaboration with Mocha Club.
We've told you about Mocha Club before... the non-profit Barrett founded that supports development work in Africa. fashionABLE was actually born out of their economic freedom project area! We just teamed-up for the #blogABLE trip last month, and now there are a couple of new products we've collaborated together to launch with their newest campaign.
While living in Ethiopia in 2008, when the idea for fashionABLE was conceived, Barrett also wrote a journal that became "I need Africa". Born out of a sleepless night, the thought of “I need Africa more than Africa needs me” (INA) was keeping him awake, and he had to put this feeling into words.
