It is an impression of my personality. I like people to respect me for what I wear. I wear what suits me.
What is the reaction of your siblings towards your lifestyle?
I am the first and only son, I only have younger sisters. They have accepted me the way I am, because my lifestyle and my dress sense fetch me money which I am taking home; so, my family are comfortable with my lifestyle.
