Back in October, 2011, Trinidad and Tobago raised (she was born in New York, USA and moved to T&T when she was two) designer Anya Ayoung-Chee won Season 9 of Lifetime’s Project Runway. Needless to say, all Trinbagonians revelled in win as though it was their’s as well.
I don’t consider Anya to be any sort of role model, but I thought about the win and lots of the events leading up to it, and found some lessons that we could learn from it. I wrote this list way back then, but only now posting it; the lessons still remain.
