Award-winning stylist and entrepreneur Tracy-Lee Rosslind began working in the fashion and entertainment industry as a nine-year-old and have experienced all the fickleness of the industry. She shared some of her insights in a Crossing the Line podcast interview with media veteran Ryland Fisher.

IOL has a partnership with Crossing the Line where we feature one of their interviews every week.

Rosslind recently travelled to Nigeria where she won the fashion stylist of the year award at a major event. She spoke out strongly against xenophobia and also the stereotypes of Nigerians perpetuated by many in the media in South Africa.

“My father travelled throughout Africa extensively, especially during the apartheid era. If it wasn’t for our African brothers and sisters, we would still be under apartheid. I don’t know where South Africans think our weapons and our training came from.
