وحشتني ♡︎ Behind every strong girl, there is a story. 2 weeks before I decided to register @theorientalhybrid feeling lost about the co-founder’s existence. _ "Why North Africa? Why Morocco?" People always ask me. Sometimes I have a handful of reasons to tell, sometimes I don't want to say a word except telling them to visit North Africa themselves. Loving North Africa is a choice, and it is a feeling. North Africa is not where all the money comes from, but it is where you can find everything else. As for Morocco, I don't have a specific answer, but it is something God has planted a seed in me since 16 years old. I could choose to tell the others the pathetic dating stories between myself and the North African men and make them seem horrific. But no, it's not what I want people to see - it is the beauty of this land, the depth of their culture, and the determination of these kind people! Sometimes, I really can't explain to those around me how much effort a Taiwanese needs to spend on figuring out the dialects, history, and cultural details of a region that is so much more diverse than major media portraits. Leading a Moroccan team of 16 people was not the easiest thing on top of the cultural differences. Understanding and feeling what they feel isn't easy. I came with so much sustainability and fashion standard knowledge upon leaving Germany. Yet the first challenge I had to find solutions for was not about fashion at all. It was transportation, a lack of tech supplies and WiFi, then finally political bureaucracy. I spent almost every night learning about Amazigh tribe differences and Darija vocabulary from the team co-founder Ghitta. My sleep schedule is up-side-down due to time differences. Most of my relatives in Taiwan think I'm jobless in life because I work remotely from home. But I am happy. 3 years later, in May 2021, one of the largest media in Morocco HESPRESS with 18M followers found us and invited me to present @moroccofashionfuture on their digital TV. I didn't attend but I sent one of the important founding team members to speak on the program. We are finally seen and we will work harder on developing the platform. #love #northafrica
