CT PEOPLE: OSAWE

“I feel like color is the most important thing in life. You feel me? Getting to understand color and using them in whatever way you want. When I was a little kid, my mom used to dress me in different colors. Sometimes she would dress me in an orange shirt with a blue pair of flared trousers. And my grandma used to make clothes for me and wax prints. Back then, I hated it and I always wondered why they dipped me down in so many colors, but now at my age I appreciate it. Sometimes we get so pinned on trying to figure out what works together instead of actually not caring and just doing it. So yeah I think that is pretty much what I would say. Accept all the colors.”
