Thank you! From what I read before I was surprised and confused haha since Africa is focused on social justice and so it seemed weird to me that she was a brothel (madame) owner at some point.

She’s done incredibly well and raised over £7000 for the Grenfell foundation .
Credit given where credit's due, she has used her platform to raise money for really good causes.
How much longer do you think she'll be able to get away with dressing her kids the way she does, they're going to wear bright colour, slogans etc at some point.
They’re still young so I think until primary school is over.
Always liked her kids dress style and her emphasis on quality not quantity.

Someone asked her in a Q&A when she'd allow her kids a say in what they wear and she replied when they buy them themselves. I really don't think we'll see them in any Paw Patrol tracksuits any time soon 
. Their clothing is part of the 'brand'. She did an ad with Next once and the girls were dressed in jersey style colourful summer dresses. I honestly wouldn't have recognized them, their unusual style of clothing is Africa's way of standing out I think.

Nicer stuff and then cheaper cotton based items from the supermarkets .

Aren’t they still quite little? I’m guessing she might get away with it until they start primary or maybe even high school.
Or it could also be that she can still dress them like that for content and then let them pick their outfits in their everyday lives.
Damn. That doesn’t sound controlling at all…
Well she did say once that she appreciates that her husband wears what she wants rather than what he'd prefer. It seems aesthetics is very important to her.Aren’t they still quite little? I’m guessing she might get away with it until they start primary or maybe even high school.

The kids aren't allowed any plastic toys either. Ugh I can't be doing with that level of obsession with aesthetics, I find it so shallow and snooty.
Oh my. I love a well curated home etc as much as the next person and I really value being surrounded by aesthetics I enjoy but that’s just… too far for me. Let people be their own person.
Thought that trampoline was going to be an earthy colour
Spoiler: I find Africa smug and unlikeable.
At what point does controlling the aesthetic of your home, children and husband, just become controlling and/or abusive?
Africa is another one with a screw loose from her ‘boundaries’ highlight to her ‘All DMs are public’ - she’s even trying to control her audience.
Here’s the thing: she’s just another grubby Instagram shiller exploiting her children and private home life to earn an income. And if she expects that level of control in everyday life it’s absolutely no wonder she doesn’t have a profession or trade and has had to resort to influencing.
Africa simply isn’t as special as wishes she was. It’s a theme amongst Instagram shillers: overinflated egos. And if you exploit your children, maybe you should be the one examining bOuNdArIeS.

Agree. I’d totally forgotten about her DM’s are public, control freak much??
I do get the impression she come across just as smug and insufferable in real life too. She always has issues and problems with anyone she interacts with ie trademan, neighbours, her former housing association to make a few.
The ‘DMs are public’ is so Africa can shame anyone whom doesn’t share her world view.
Africa should seek professional help for her compulsion to control others.

The housing association issue was because her kids had been left without hot water for a few days and they had ordered a part for the boiler but didn’t know when it would arrive could be a full week.
I might be wrong but there was also something else about someone coming into the home and being rude.
Why can’t they be kept private? If she has DMs switched on she is inviting correspondence. All personal one to one correspondence I can quickly think of is private.
If you have to threaten to shame people to control your inbox… turn DMs off.
I didn't actually see anything wrong with the way the HA were handling her complaint, okay so she had no hot water whilst waiting for the part but I'm sure if she was incovenienced the same way in her current home then she would manage for a few days. Carrying that huge chip around on her shoulder constantely must be exhausting.
Because people take to DM to be shady af. The ones she’s shared have been rude, passive aggressive, or micro aggressions. If people wanna be snide in DMs they deserve to get blasted tbh
