Introduce yourself
My name is Desiree Marshall and I am the creator and founder of clothing brand Afrodelik. Based in Canada, we celebrate black culture by producing rich, funky, hand-drawn afrocentric art collections for clothing. The brand embraces the strong energy of African spirit and our heroes and sheroes of today and yesteryears. I am also a professional video editor.
Favourite song lyric
I am a huge Meshell Ndegeocello fan and I just chose 1 of many of my favourite lyrics by her. This is from the song Bittersweet:
“you enchant me so my bittersweet flower shall we make love feel the waves of the ocean come to rest in the eye of a storm.”

Thenublack philosophy
This is something that I am working through it myself, and it is:
“Be all of you, this is the only life that you know of. Live it to the fullest, without fear and inhibition. LIVE BIG!”
