Liberian Girl wants to change the world
Joy Odell Nagbe is an environmental science student at the Cuttington University in Liberia. She is also a photographer, fashion designer, and founder of J-West Clothing and Image. When asked why she chose to set up these businesses, Joy stresses the importance of girl and youth development. She also aims to put Liberia on the map. Last December, I was fortunate to attend the Tees and Me Christmas Festival in Monrovia, where J -West Clothing gave us an insight into what they had planned for the year. The 5 models above are all wearing J-West designs and the photograph was taken by Joy. J-West Clothing engages in the production of customized T-shirts that are mostly Liberian themed. “Creativity is not just a skill but an attitude – a rebellious desire to be different," Joy said quoting Chaipranin Visudhipol.
