Here’s some insight into my journey with The Modern Artisan with YOOX NET-A-PORTER and The Kings Foundation and my approach to design.
“It’s not just a product, it’s part of our lives.” The #ModernArtisan Georgia Wintle, who’s joined us for the third edition of our flagship talent programme with The King's Foundation, believes in the power of storytelling through what we wear. Georgia is passionate about getting people to connect with their clothes by finding ways to add sentimental value to her designs, which she’ll handcraft alongside five other artisans at Dumfries House in Scotland, headquarters of The King’s Foundation.

My views are mine and mine only. Thriving despite obstructions. Decolonizing our minds is hard work that needs to be done.
Our enemies knew about our brilliance. Nobody goes through all the troubles of passing laws to keep us out of schools, out of jobs, out of professional organizations, and out of many sports if they did not know about our brilliance. They even used or threatened violence to keep us out or throw us out. The sad thing is that we did not know about our own brain power because we were brainwashed to think that we had nothing to offer or that we needed to integrate to be worthwhile. Let’s refocus on ourselves and our children and our grand-children. Help support children in need until their parents are able to support them. Attend HBCUs for college and graduate school. Give money to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. Stop thinking that we need to attend PWIs to be worthwhile. Stop wanting to be a big shot at PWIs to feel that we have made it. Stop wishing to be accepted by people who are not able to love us. Go to Black-owned restaurants! Find online Black-owned stores. Buy and read books by Black authors like Elizabeth Leiba. Help to open new medical schools at HBCUs. Help to open hospitals affiliated with HBCU medical schools. Make 2024 count.

It may initially seem negative in the context of narcissism, but the term "black sheep" carries a unique strength. Often, these individuals possess the courage to question established norms and view situations from fresh, uncharted perspectives. While it can be incredibly challenging to stand out and challenge the status quo, these brave souls are often the catalysts for essential change and groundbreaking innovation. Think about it: by daring to be different, "black sheep" challenge groupthink and push boundaries. Their unique viewpoints and willingness to voice dissent can act as a safeguard against collective mistakes, steering the group toward wiser, more informed decisions. This kind of bravery isn't just about being contrary for the sake of it—it's about valuing progress over comfort, truth over conformity. Moreover, their readiness to take risks and explore the unconventional can pave the way for new ways of thinking, leading to advancements that others might have never considered. This perspective highlights the invaluable contributions of those who dare to break away from the crowd. So, while being the "black sheep" might come with its own set of challenges, it is also a role that carries the potential for profound impact. Embracing this identity means recognizing the power in difference and the beauty in diversity of thought. Sometimes, the most significant progress springs from those who are bold enough to be different. #growth #growthmindset #leadership #leaders #diverity
The black sheep usually doesn't follow the crowd because every once in a while, the crowd is literally going the wrong way in mass. It takes a black sheep to stand out and say, 'Hey, I think we're headed off a cliff here!' They may be labeled as outcasts or rebels, but in reality, they're the ones who are brave enough to challenge the status quo and forge their own path. Let's celebrate the black sheep in our lives - the ones who inspire us to think differently, to question the norms, and to embrace our individuality.

Dissenting voices are vital to preserving critical thinking. Critical thinking protects against herd mentality. Herd mentality is fatal if it is pointing in the wrong direction. Support dissenting voices and critical thinkers if they are altruistic and prosocial in their underpinning drivers.

𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗱: 𝗔 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗺 The 25th of May, 2020, is a date I will never forget. The tragic death of George Floyd was a powerful reminder of the systemic racism that continues to plague our society. This moment ignited a global movement and underscored the necessity for each of us to stand up and speak out against racism. As we reflect on the impact of George Floyd’s death, it’s crucial to continue the conversation and find actionable ways to combat racism in our communities and workplaces. I encourage everyone to watch this insightful Q&A with Torin Ellis, a tribute to George Floyd, which delves into these very issues. Think about how you can be a part of the change: - 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳: Learn about the history and ongoing impact of racism. - 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗨𝗽: Use your voice to call out injustice whenever you see it. - 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Implement anti-racist policies in your workplace, support organizations fighting for racial justice, and engage in community initiatives aimed at equity. Let's honor George Floyd’s memory by committing to real, lasting change. Each step we take toward mitigating racism brings us closer to a world where equity is the norm, not the exception. #GeorgeFloyd #Racism #Diversity #Inclusion #Leadership https://lnkd.in/eZVAc_JA

Today marks the anniversary of the tragic death of George Floyd, a moment that sparked a global movement for racial justice and equality. As we reflect on this significant day, it is essential to acknowledge the impact it has had on our society and recommit ourselves to the ongoing work of diversity, equity and inclusion. Over the past year, the media has been filled with both positive and negative narratives surrounding DEI efforts. While it is disheartening to see negativity, we must remember that progress often faces resistance. It is during these challenging times that our dedication to the cause becomes even more critical. To my fellow DEI practitioners, your commitment is unwavering; thank you! But we must keep advocating for positive change. Remember, our collective efforts towards DEI are not confined to a single day or moment. It is a journey that requires continuous learning, growth, and action. Let us honor George Floyd's memory by reaffirming our commitment to creating a more inclusive and equitable world. Together, we can continue making a difference! #GeorgeFloyd #RacialJustice #DEI
