Nike By You x Cultivator "Isle of Spice" by Amara Ramdhanny + दुगला (Dugala) Research and Interview:

Isle of Spice

In addition to designing the "Isle of Spice" Nike React Element 55 colorway, I also had the pleasure of interviewing three amazing young women about their identity as mixed women of Black and Indian descent, also known as a "dougla" in the Caribbean community (a term with a controversial background. While it means someone of Afro/Indo descent, it is also a slur meaning "bastard" or "mutt", having origins in Bhojpuri, the dialect of Hindi spoken by the majority of Indians who migrated as indentured laborers in the 19th and early 20th centuries) and their feelings about that identity and how they feel that they fit into the Desi community (or not)
