Buzz and Press - Interview with Pamela Stitch of SARFM Radio in New York

Hiya Fellow Fashionistas!!!!! I just completed an hour-long radio interview with Pamela Stitch of SARFM Radio in New York. Pamela is proudly African and is a complete supporter of African Arts and Music. Her love for African Music led her to work with Southern African Radio Station (www.sarfmradio.com) about 2.5 years ago, where she won best Radio Presenter for the Year 2006. Check out Pamela's African Loft Page right here.

We discussed fashion, fashion, more fashion, social entrepreneurism, fair trade, community development, eco-friendly fashion, Kiva, philanthropy, and micro-financing. We also discussed Boutique Mix's 2008 Pledge Campaign to rebuild Sierra Leone and impoverished Africa, one innocent child at a time. Thanks to Pamela and everyone at SARFM for all their fabulous support!!!!

SARFM(otherwise Known as the Heartbeat of Africa in New York) is an internet based radio station that broadcasts 24 hours from New York City. It was started in April 2005 with the goal of providing radio programming similar to that found in their homeland to millions of Africans in the Diasporas. Chaka Ngwenya is a popular Radio personality from Africa and is the Founder and CEO of SARFM. After analyzing public information regarding radio programming in New York city as well as the influx of support from the African American, Caribbean and Spanish community [they] have restructured [their] programming to meet the needs of a broader demographic.

I've been Tagged by Nigeriandramaqueen!!!

I've been tagged by the fabulously sassy Nigeriandramaqueen.

Well, here we go. I'm supposed to report 7 random facts about myself and then tag others and report it on their blogs so that they know they've been tagged. The taggees then read my meme, post their tagged memes on their blogs and then, tag others.

Here are my 7 random tidbits

1. I love gummi bears and gummi worms. I eat a pack every weekday as part of my breakfast. On weekends, I get gummi withdrawals and snap at everyone in my path.

2. I am addicted to british fashion and gossip magazines. I travel a lot for work and on fridays I buy all the gossip rags and read them at the airport. I leave them on the plane or on the train for the flight attendants or train conductors (are they called train conductors?).........kind of like their secret gossip santa :-).....or is that i'm just a slob and forget to pick up my trash a.k.a. magazines when i get off??.......hmmmm.


3. I admire Angelina Jolie (she's living part of my life).......



4. I watch Murder She Wrote and Columbo reruns EVERY time they come on TV (when I'm home - everytime). If they come on at the same time on different channels, I switch between the two shows and I get pissed off if they don't alternate commercial breaks.


5. I want Oprah to adopt me (as a daughter or a pet), or in the alternative, make one of my crafts one of her favorite things!!!


6. I was scared to pieces and quite nervous about opening my online fashion boutique this year.

7. I have never tasted coffee.

Bonus memes -

I'm secretly dating David Beckham, Idris Elba and Benjamin Brat....shhh.

I'd love to raise $100,000 for the 2008 Rebuilding Sierra Leone Pledge Campaign :-)

I now tag the fabulous divas from apresenta and shop liquorice. Happy Reading!!!
