Hi Dannike,
I have recently discovered the AFG and I must say I love it! I have decided to email you because “if you don’t ask, you don’t get.” I am very interested in Africa and studied Law at university, however, my path has strayed back to fashion and the arts. As you are the teams fashion journalist I was wondering if it would be at all possible to shadow you so I can gain insight into the research methods that a fashion journalist takes, how the AFG operates and to improve my knowledge of sustainable fashion.
If, this is at all possible please get back to me. Either way, thank you for your time.
Yours sincerely,
Remi
