if we're moving towards clothing. black and white tee's. cost effective on the ink and we could be using 220gsm+ cotton so can charge premium pricing.

what do you think of clover canyon clothing? their erratic style is suited for an idea but more africanized and perhaps hip-hoppy.

typography on plain tee's with dope quotables but i have a trick, you can highlight certain parts and illustrate them for a groovy pattern. something like this can accompany the lycras.

We could take this and remix with iconic black sayings like "Plymoth Rock Landed On Us" or "Fresh"

Or even use that typical 70s retro font and what have you.

Basically you take what already works and give it a slight remix.
The number thing that's gonna sell to women is them being half naked whilst pretending it has something to do with their femininity or blackness.

So whatever the top 5 selling brands and items are right now, we take those, give them a black spin, and market them accordingly using social influencers and any other marketing strategy to get to out core audience.

In Johannesburg for example I would target the black middle class in the Northern suburbs and also the black hipster/artsy crowd around Braamfontein and Maboneng precinct.

.

for sure at the first part but being careful to to make the sayings not pity or too antagonistic lol. its about empowerment and celebrating beauty for sure.

the font idea is good, there are font sites and whatever takes your fancy we could implement examples.

kate hudson has the number one womanswear fitness brand lol, but i 100% feel what you are saying.

now i get a clearer picture of what we are trying to do before a name, logo, means, account, we need to see if theres anyone out there to raise 30 000 but honestly 10 000 could kick in the doors. its about who is storing the product and how we pressing and shipping everything else is straight.

i got ideas and original paintings for the highlighted.

hard pass

no t shirt brands no clothes, holla at me on other shyt

we're just building i think the better option would be to make use of our routines all in different citys of the world.

an on-line web series that includes podcast, interviews, news, and have a consistent output in animation format. once we've built a catering i'm sure the merchandise like posters, cups, t-shirts could work. probably take just one viral interview to blow and we have a landmark but it be cool to have a niche.

or baked good snacks.

for real the online street team would be crazy and the amount of resources with beatmakers, photographers, ghost writers,etc.



for real i think 100.00 is throw away money theres brothers in JBO now ready to throw that away on a worthless hoe for 8 minutes lol.

this group economics is so powerful especially in this virtual global village of the 2020.
Exactly, breh. The possibilities are endless. We're all going to be in the crib for the next year anyway due to the virus, so we may as well build while the world is trying to figure things out.

I'm a writer, so down to help with anything in that regard. Worked as a newspaper journalist for some years and have been freelance writing since then for most of my professional career.

like every participating board member drops a rack and we get a lawyer and firm that says we all have equal investment. it could rake in the 300 000+. you think there's anything out there we could eat off as a collective?

this is not just hypothetical either :lupe:

- real estate?
- investing in a recording artist?
- biscuit company?
real estate pretty much would be the best investment. Renting/leasing it out.

thats a blessing.

if we are reviewing the online web show with merch idea ... then you could assist with questions ideas for features in the news segment. the coli should have been had a more visible online presence but we dont cater nothing but chat. chat is good but imagine been rewarded for your participation via prizes and etc.

a youtube page, instagram page, all linked to a website with commerce.

- honey of the week, honey of the week getting interviewed at her local sorroundings.
- news deep afrocentric chat guest.
- some whats up with the streets/coli segment in animation.
- showcasing black creatives segment
- in a neat little consistent format available for viewing and buying shyt.

i know no one will throw out their intellectual property out there but something feasible we can participate and then break bread with.

i know nothing about it but i have a 100 to input if we ever do something like that.

i got home decor ideas if we are renovating small apartments :dame:
Now I want to play a the sims type game. Getting your skills up and making your room or house bigger to add shyt and decorating was fun.

I don’t know much neither but definitely the best investment if you don’t want to work too hard is real estate.

An idea to get Brehs to sell:

Have a promo code for the merch shop that gives like a 10% discount. The code can be attached to the Coli Breh and can have commission attached to it

Then the Brehs would be in incentivized to spread the Gospel of Breh (go on their socials, sell to RL people etc)
