#iamMIN: Stand Up, Sock Up & Sign Up. Sign Up for the "World's Largest Sock Donation" Charity Party

About Us:

Our company, Blue Frog Creations, is an art-oriented company creating social value through the collective effort of people and organisations for social change, economic empowerment and creative development.

One of the ways we create social value is through a soft toy social business from old socks called Babu:

•       Each Babu is made to help alleviate some social problems. Thus, each Babu has a ‘built-in cost donation’ to solve a specific problem.

•       Also, each Babu’s ‘social cause’ is recognisable in its design.  Thus, making it pretty easy for customers to pick and support a specific cause. 

We need old socks’ donations from the public to make Babus: to offer them as part of relief materials to displaced children and to raise funds for different causes each Babu is designed for.

See some ready-made Babu designs below:

Five (5) BlondeDolly© Men who stood out in 2013

The world is heavily inundated with mediocrity; its 'luxurious' celebration (misrepresentation) as the new king of cool and blueprint to 'quick fame'. This is sad... but not news!  In juxtaposition, I am glad there are still many 'few good men'...and more than 5 actually out there (e.g Russell Simmons, Brenden Dilley, Peter Georgescu, Barrack Obama, Roger Federer, Babatunde Fashola, e.t.c)

Like Margaret Thatcher, only that I am a little 'worse' (pun intended), I usually make up my mind about a man in ten seconds, and I very rarely change it.

This post celebrates 5 fantastic men whom I have never met in person, but whose works, words, materials, achievements, mentality, humanitarian lifestyle, contributions, dreams, drive, desires, skills sets' and gifts inspired me a great deal in 2013.

1. Actor, Director and Writer, crime committed not to add 'very handsome' Aml Ameen starts my list. Talk about amazing career leap! It is not everyday nor very easy that one lands a Hollywood role in a blockbuster movie with (only) big casts like Oprah Winfrey, Forest Whitaker, Jane Fonda, David Oyelowo and the A-list star studded others. 

Aml (pronounced Am-Mel as on his twitter page @AmlAmeen) - an embodiment of hard work, focus, dedication and humility - deserves more celebration, more roles and more opportunities in the coming years. Watching his interview with Vox Africa certainly underscores him as a young man who is well focused, has big dreams and certainly knows where he is going.
