On my Akwisombe "to do" list for later today!Here’s Dom’s show. He’s like a pit bull and he’s a Londoner. I’m happy to support in writing something up. I also have some connections in telly.
So frustrating, i’ve been following Olive & Pickle for a little while and was going to be placing a couple of orders soon for birthdays. But I just cannot be giving custom to any business supporting her.I can't understand why businesses, albeit small ones, are gifting her their products
Olive & Pickle looks fab but seeing them support her in any capacity has turned my custom away.
And did she really get gifted a gold necklace?!
I get it, they want exposure but surely it's putting people off coming from Sarah Akwisombe!
I think we need to work out a good way of actively telling those brands that their support of Sarah Akwisombe is costing them paid business.So frustrating, i’ve been following Olive & Pickle for a little while and was going to be placing a couple of orders soon for birthdays.

Have also been a long term customer of Veronica Dearly & someone mentioned on here that she was supporting Sarah the other day, that’ll be another no from now on!
That's a very good point, she could well be hoodwinking them and doing the classic Sarah Akwisombe misrepresentation. Plus, if they're all relatively small businesses, they could be absolutely flat out busy and not seen all this.I would approach the brands first before writing them off. Let’s not forget that she is very good at deleting content and comments so it could be under their radar. Yes they should be doing due diligence but let’s face it so should everyone who did smashing it.Me included.
I very rarely saw SA’s grid posts only stories. I’m a small business and I’d hate to think people were avoiding me for something I knew nothing of.
True, though I feel like me going ‘Hi you supported this person & actually they’ve done XYZ, so you supporting her is condoning it, so i’m not going to buy from you’ is just going to make them tell me where to stick it haha!I would approach the brands first before writing them off.

Nike is another oneThat's a very good point, she could well be hoodwinking them and doing the classic Sarah Akwisombe misrepresentation. Plus, if they're all relatively small businesses, they could be absolutely flat out busy and not seen all this.
Do we have a list of the brands? Here's all the ones I know of that she has worked with in some capacity or other:
Dell
Vodafone
Habitat
Ebay
British Heart Foundation
Post Office Mortgages
Olive & Pickle
Who else?
Excellent ideaI think an Instagram account is the best way to do this. Tag them all and hashtag/tag her and her businesses so if anyone searches her the info will come up. Stay factual, and unemotional.
Just send them the link to this thread...I think we need to work out a good way of actively telling those brands that their support of Sarah Akwisombe is costing them paid business.
If you tag them you are only bringing it to the attention of whoever looks after their social media who will not have clout. It needs to go to Corporate Affairs or Communication Depts, they will be called one or the other. In particular you need to find out who deals with brand partnerships & brand collaboration. The social media person who deals with tagged posts are likely to miss it & be so low on the food chain as well.I think an Instagram account is the best way to do this.

ThIs thread contains too much information & a lot of comments that would be classed as hearsay & come across as bitchy. A concise could of paragraphs would be better as it needs to look professional. By all means refer to tattle as part of the list of URL’s of the articles including the URL of the Sarah Akwisombe undelete part of the undelete website. When writing to brands, small claims, whatever it needs to be concise & crystal clear. One way of approaching these things is to think of the recipient as lazy & stupid & underpaid. I know that sounds rude but that is essentially the worse case scenario: That way something clearly written, concise with all URL’s meets their needs without them having to go digging & is more likely to be acted upon & referred to management for action.Just send them the link to this thread...

This! If I were running my business and wanted a mentor I'd be very inspired by a woman who had built her business from the ground up and made a million etc and would consider paying them for their advice/mentorship. The trouble is that it's bullshit, she didn't make a million, she said whatever she pleased that meant people would part with their cash and then she didn't give a flying fuck about what happened next, she was onto finding new victims.I think, aside the refunds which are obviously very important, that there is another angle to Sarah’s story, which is the misrepresentation of her financials to ultimately exploit women, some of whom were vulnerable, for her own financial gain, under this false pretend that she was making a million.
That was what brought me to this thread in the first place. The refunds are just the proof of her ill intent.
At least she won’t be making much money with her product business.
