As many of you know, I enjoy taking courses to gain the experience or wisdom I need in any area. Luckily, I had won a scholarship to attend Fashion Industry Essentials via Parsons New School, which you may remember from the last post. As we complete modules in the curriculum, we often have real-world exercises and more that show us tools and more online. Currently, I am in a module part called ‘Your Media Brand’ that stresses the importance of knowing who your audience is.

"As anyone who has tried on clothing in a store knows, size is a relative thing."  As a Fashion Industry Essentials student at Parson's New School via Yellowbrick, we were asked to head to a large retailer that carries several brands.  We were then asked to try on many garments - making note of the sizes that fit us the best.  After this, we were asked to choose an item that fit us the best and try on every identical item in that size, making a note of the difference between the garments.  It is important to note that clothing is made with a 1/2" tolerance.

Over 9 weeks ago, Mani Midi also unveiled his ‘MM Dot’ moniker online via the BARS app. The idea was to do 3 ‘Practice Field Raps’ a day for 6 days in a row, then a day of rest. As of this post, there are now 162 of them not counting the ciphers. These are all being compiled for a book called ‘From Crawling to Rhyming’, which will share a mixtape for free with the purchase of the book.
