The Job Interview

Tomi had always loved bright African prints, but for her first big job interview in a corporate firm, she wore a dull gray suit she thought was “safe.”
When she entered the room, she felt small, blending into the background. The interviewers asked her about herself, but she struggled to sound confident.

For her second interview, she wore a neatly tailored navy-blue blazer with a subtle Ankara-patterned blouse. This time, she felt like herself—professional, but still authentic. She walked in taller, spoke clearer, and landed the job.

✨ Lesson: When your clothing reflects your identity, confidence follows—and others can see it.
