Fashion- Noun, Verb, or Adjective
Fashion helps us show our personalities visually within the society. When we pick out outfits our attitude towards the world shows through what we wear. Our personal style is our visual communication. We show a glimpse of our personality in everything we do from our behavior in different situations to what we eat and which style of clothing we buy.

Mighty Moussa

BY moussa traore

Too often I see African soccer players being stereotyped as being too strong or too fast. People will not take into consideration the athleticism of the player. I can relate to that because I am a soccer player and people think that if it weren’t for my speed I wouldn’t be playing soccer. I’m passionate about soccer and I want people to see my skill, strategy, and speed. I want people to see the talent of African soccer players is more than their speed.
