Episode 10: Finding a Place of Solace

FIrst let me tell you the story of how I met the fascinating Ngoni.

Ngoni is the founder and creative director of her own brand, We Are Kin. Ngoni and I met last year in Holborn, and I have followed and admired her journey since. It was amazing to finally get the chance to sit down and pick her brain! On all things designer in today's world, the standards she has set not just for herself but her brand too, and how becoming sustainable is a trend that is not just growing, but staying too.

_ Wednesday 8th May - "Trending: Now + Next 2.0" _ Soho House 76 Dean Street

_ Tuesday 14th May - Barre + Yoga + Workshop _ Lululemon, Spitalfields

Model Me is partnering with Lululemon for mental health wellness week to bring you the ultimate mindset + body fix up! We will be doing a 45 minute barre class with Class Pass Teacher of the Year, and Winner of Vogue’s Best Barre Class, Ellya Sam, followed by a 45 minute yoga class. After the 90 minute barre + yoga, Model Me will be running a workshop on how to create default positive mindset habits, building a positive mental body image, and how not to lose your self identity in the creative industry.

_ Monday 20th May - "Trending: Now + Next 2.1" _ The Curtain, Shoreditch

The purpose of this event “TRENDING: NOW + NEXT” is to bring the creative community together, to communicate and to learn from a panel of innovative creatives (Eli Ankutse, Rebecca Abraham and Nas Abraham), about what’s currently trending in the industry and how it’s impacting culture, and the opportunities and challenges this brings to the future for brands and creative individuals. We will also be holding a discussion unpacking the idea of "the definition of success" and "the definition of luxury”, and what it’s like to balance a creative career as a married couple.
