This weeks XL’s Featured Tribesmen Of The Week Malik Jefferson is gonna share his goals and obstacles with XL Tribe.
1. What are some of your biggest fashion obstacles? My biggest fashion obstacle is being plus size and finding trendy clothes that fit appropriately allowing me to show case my personal style which is often deemed artisic and chic.
2. Where are you from and how you describe your style? I am from Chicago, Illinois and my style is bold, eccentric, flashy and ever changing.
3. Tell us about your biggest fashion nightmare and if it came true do explain. (attach a picture if you can) I purchased an outfit that I thought was my size and then the button would not fasten and the pants ripped due to the damage I was too embarrassed to return.
4.Have any of your 2019 goals come true? My 2019 goal that has come true is that I battled and beat a deep depression and anxiety and regained my confidence. Due to the aforementioned, I hope that within the next six months I will be able to achieve more of my dreams and accomplish goals established on my vision board.
5.Where do you see yourself in five years and how do you see yourself accomplishing it? I see myself as being: successful, genuinely happy, settled in a Healthy Relationship with my Soulmate & with kids; well traveled with a thriving business and enjoying life.
6.How long have you been on the journey of being a Big & Tall man? What’s the biggest misconception you hear about Big & Tall Guys? I have been on the larger side my entire life. The biggest misconception about being Big and Tall men is that we often labeled as sloppy and can not be stylish and find clothes in our size and be well put together.
7.If you could swap styles with one celebrity who would it be and why? I would swap styles with A.S.A.P. Rocky as he can wear anything and pull it off as I consider him very fashionable and the male Rihanna.
Hola Mi Tribesmen
I guess I’ll start by introducing myself. I’m Kirklan Hawes the Founder and creator of XLTribe.com. This site was birthed from an old idea I had to create a community of like-minded guys that was tired of being miss represented and wanted to be displayed in the truest form. Changing the way Big & Tall Men are perceived is the goal for XLTribe.com.
