When I started blogging 3 years ago I was just a girl with her laptop trying to make a change on the way people see , feel and think about African fashion. There was barely any website that did what I did. I had no experience at all with regards of how to get what i wanted as a blogger.Today I am going to tell you a story about how I got my first interview for the blog with an African fashion label and what i learned from it. So here I am with this blog with almost no content trying to get an interview with a somehow well established label. So since I lived quite far from them I sent them an email to find out if its possible for them to respond to a few questions for me. They responded a few days later and advised that they could. I was pretty happy, so the questions were sent off and the waiting game started. I waited patiently for two weeks and did not hear back, so I sent another brief message to remind them of the questions once again they got back to saying that they are working on it. Third and fourth fifth ,sixth week came and went and no answer. my blood started boiling a bit and I sent an email back to them on the 8th week and said the following." Hello, I was just following up with you again to see if you were still interested in doing the interview I know you might be busy however I know if this was vogue contacting you I am sure you would have found the time to respond quicker " OUPS. I felt so bad about sending that email. After my email I got an answer 3 hours later with my answers and they specified that they were just busy nothing do to with being vogue or not. What did I learn from this?
