Forbes has ranked the Sierra Leone Olympic uniform designed by Labrum among its “10 Of The Most Stylish Uniforms From The Paris Games”.
It is ranked fifth above France, Great Britain, The Netherlands, and Australia.
Only the USA, China, Mongolia, Canada, and Haiti are ranked above Sierra Leone.
The kit was designed and produced by Adidas in collaboration with the London-based fashion label Labrum, which is owned by a Sierra Leonean named Foday Dumbuya.
The collection features elements that pay homage to Sierra Leone’s cultural heritage, including windbreakers adorned with a distinctive white and blue print inspired by cowrie shells.

Competing for the Bar Association presidency is a slate of worthy individuals, each skilled in their own right. Amidst such esteemed company, my sister offers a distinct choice—her blend of tenacity, expertise, and principled commitment to the law is unparalleled.
Je salue le bon déroulement de l’élection présidentielle du 24 mars 2024 et félicite le vainqueur, M. Bassirou Diomaye Faye, que les tendances donnent gagnant. C’est la victoire de la démocratie sénégalaise.

Considering their ineffectiveness on Nov 26, it seems sensible to reconsider the need for nighttime checkpoints post-curfew. 🤔 #RethinkSecurity#SaloneX
Is meritocracy a myth – or even desirable? In his new book, Michael Sandel argues "it’s corrosive of the common good, because it leads the successful... to believe their success is their own doing… and by implication, that those on the bottom must deserve their fate as well.”
A white couple call the police on me, a person of color, for stencilling a #BLM chalk message on my own front retaining wall. “Karen” lies and says she knows that I don’t live in my own house, because she knows the person who lives here. #blacklivesmatter
