Hello(να), everyone 💚 🐢 💚
I wanna apologise for delaying to post this update.
The shop will remain closed. Or should I say on ice? Let’s just say I’m freezing its operation. At the time of writing the last post, the plan was to return; because the opposite didn’t seem like an option. The more time I had to think about it though, the more it became clear to me that coming back to keep doing this on my own wasn’t in any way sustainable. I’ve been unwilling to let it go for two main reasons, the first one being it’s probably the only thing I’ve ever done professionally that was both fulfilling and nurturing – quite literally and metaphorically – and the second being seeing its potential and the demand for it.
I know for sure that I’m not done with it. Yali Ali came to be a life project more than anything else thanks to the endless support of both my nuclear and extended family and of course each and every one of you who showed your support and love by keep coming back. You’ve kept me going for three years when I didn’t think it was possible to make it through even one day on my own. I am immensely grateful for all your support 🫂💚
Feel free to DM me for anything you might wanna ask 🙏🏼💚
P.S. All Frozen puns, phrasal verbs and imagery totally intended ⛄
