renewed my license as a back up with the current job market and found something to help me stack my savings and pay some things off - but i accidentally found a gem!

pay starting is $25 with differentials that go up to $6/hr! the aide to client ratio is 1:5 at most but typically 3 or 4. breaks are included in pay and we are provided meals. i mean i recently started so I have no complaints and might have rose colored glasses but this is pretty awesome. I wish everyone had access to a job like this it surely would make CNA’s feel better appreciated and less burnout/turnover.

is this sub for coily hair alone or anyone else? just asking cause there’s an influx of post from people who clearly don’t have coily hair asking if their hair is 4c which is ridiculous. also the amount of people equating dry, brushed out or unkempt/frizzy hair to 4c - it’s jarring and quite frankly feels like the antithesis of the supposed purpose of this sub

hi all!

a friend of mine is visiting this summer to do some research towards their senior thesis on ghana and the impacts of textile waste on the country, its citizens, as well as the fashion cycle.

they will be in accra for the first part of their trip and are looking to interview some locals who specifically those who source clothes from the landfills and or up-cycle them or resell them at kantamanto.

i have provided them with some sources i have heard of - like young ghanaians who are creating a thrifting scene (one that more reflects the western way of second hand shopping) like fooseplug the physical thrift / upcycled shop owned by a young ghanaian girl in accra — and from what i know she directly sources her pieces in the shop from people in kantamanto.

(i am diaspora btw, born and raised in tema but haven’t been back in a decade so not too sure if i could be of much help to my friend hence why I’m coming here)

but since this is an academic journal, my friend will need more individuals to talk to , in order to have varying range of material to write from. especially in the market as it can be a maze and overwhelming to someone who isn’t familiar or speaks the language.

any assistance would be much appreciated!
