What’s one thing that most people don’t know about, but should?
Brana: A lot of people don’t know that over 70% of textiles produced end up burnt or in landfills. There’s this idea that items are getting donated or recycled, but the numbers don’t lie. Another major issue is food waste. The resources involved in food production are immense and 40% of the food produced is wasted before it even reaches us. This is incredibly inefficient.
Brana Dane was seen in Vogue posing for designer Taku Yhim. He was featured in the article as one of a few a new designers spotlighted as having the most potential.
And I must agree with Brana Dane that the government can be slowpokes. The model says, “Government can be slow-moving and the limitation is that it can be too slow to react to a constantly changing landscape of new technology and new products. It takes a while to get environmental emergencies the proper attention. Getting a law passed is a process as well.” And these claims are undeniable. You can knock on their doors and they’ll only give you ‘assurance’ of their support yet weeks had passed and still nothing.

Have you tried Okra? Mostly used in the South, this green pod vegetable is a staple in soulful Southern dishes such as gumbo or fried okra. It’s also known as “lady fingers” and originally comes from Africa. This unique plant can survive extreme heat and also drought. In fact, the okra plant has even been known to survive heat above 100F.
Some may not appreciate its rarified mouthfeel; when cooked the pods become gooey or slimy. Okra is known to be “mucilaginous”. This slime is actually very healthy and contains soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is a unique form of fiber that can actually be metabolized by the flora in our lower intestine, and helps to keep our arteries clean and healthy. In this way, Okra is potentially good for heart and brain health.

The event started with a long, natural light, outdoor red carpet. We posed for quite some time.
