Solange Knowles Wearing Stéphane Rolland on her wedding day! 

Worked up this illustration of a couple I saw on the train a few weeks back… I embellished a little on the design; the guy didn’t have this body frame, & neither wore gold, but both carried a powerful sense of African pride about them, which I loved… People couldn’t take their eyes off them… I loved that too.

Folorunsho Alakija… "The Richest Black Woman in the World"… It is popular belief that Oprah Winfrey is the Richest Black Woman in the world and according to Forbes she is, but in all actuality a born and raised Nigerian Woman from Lagos State named Folorunsho Alakija is close to $600 million richer than Oprah’s estimated net worth of $2.7 Billion according to new reports from Africa and America… Alakija is currently Worth about $3.3 billion but she started her career working as a secretary at the International Merchant Bank of Nigeria. She then traveled to England to study fashion design. On her return to Nigeria, she founded Supreme Stitches, which produced clothing for upscale clientele. Then, in 1993, without any prior experience in the oil business, she was awarded an oil prospecting license, allowing her company to explore for oil in one of Nigeria’s most prolific oil blocks. Alakija then became the founder and owner of Nigerian oil company Famfa Oil. She is a mother of 4 sons and built her Fortune from Oil and fashion and currently lives in Nigeria with her husband of 35 years. Alakija also heads a few philanthropic efforts to help people in need in her country of Nigeria and her Continent of Africa… @Champion_Us
