The Truth is I am a little obsessed with small businesses that have 
philanthropic background attached to them. I find it inspiring because 
they are regular people just like you and me, trying to do extraordinary
 things that can benefit the world. I decided that I wanted to speak to 
Thomas Osei, CEO and founder of Terkloving, Well, guys in all actuality 
we couldn’t sit down to have a one on one conversation only because I 
live in Atlanta, and he lives in New Jersey! So we did the next best 
thing, social media.(FaceTimed) before we get into the logistics of the 
interview.<br />
<br />
First and foremost Thomas is a gentleman who is extremely 
down to earth (a little background about you school n what you study, 
interest) and his Instagram and Facebook inspires me even ever I see his
 post on my timeline. Check him out @Terkclothing and @Terkloving<br />
The FaceTime interview session with Thomas was very laid back. 
Believe it or not, it took me forever to call him as my mother wanted me
 to do a million of things for her at the same time. Mothers ehh.<br />
<br />
Thomas
 was patient with me even though My mum was disturbing me through out 
“as a joke lol”) As I was anxious to know Thomas and his ideas the first
 question that every interviewer ask is how he got into fashion because 
it’s normal to see guys working in the fashion industry and mostly 
everyone is coming out with a clothing line. He stated that it was 
because he won the best dressed during senior year and he was keen in 
creating a style that will catch the eye of every individual. also he 
find fashion as a very relaxing past time for him and wanted to involve 
it with his actual work life. Mr. Osei studied at (blah blah got his 
bachelor’s in Public health but found that he kept running back to 
fashion, so he decided to incorporate his degree, and his passion.<br />

 He 
started Terkloving in 2011 (background about the company) His goal was 
to educate people on their background and culture through (something 
call me and we will talk about that) and their community through 
fashion. One might ask, why not just start a charity? Why Fashion? He 
decided to go with fashion because fashion unifies people, and it truly 
is a beautiful thing when it breaks cultural barriers, no one thinks of 
color when fashion is involved, says Mr. Osei.<br />

Not only did I love his clothing line, I honestly love his 
personality and sense of humor, and I wanted to know where such 
positivity comes from. He stated that growing up here (United States of 
America) Africa was viewed in a negative light, more derogatory light, 
so he wanted to shed a positive light on Africa and let everyone know 
that they ought to respect the kingdom that we (human race) originated 
from.<br />
<br />
Me being the curious cat that I am, I had to ask Thomas what is most 
challenging about starting his clothing line and seeing it through? His 
reply was, when you have an version and you want to achieve it, nothing 
stops you, it takes prayers, hardworking, determination, time and 
effort, it was hard but with the help of his loved ones, He was able to 
make terk a dream come through. He also stated that what he enjoys most 
about designing clothes is the inspiration behind it and the responds he
 got from people all over the world, people have accepted it in a 
positive manner and he’s forever grateful to God.<br />
