We’re looking forward to introducing you to Stefan Amali . Check out our conversation below.
Hi Stefan , thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: Have any recent moments made you laugh or feel proud?
The launch of our active wear brand Female Superiority has definitely been a proud moment for me. The sociological premise of Female Superiority is not based on the notion that one gender is innately superior to the other. What we seek to acknowledge with this brand, is that women have been systemically disenfranchised and abused in our society. Yet still women have managed to progress , achieve and inspire despite these social conditions. It is the superiority over those maladaptive conditions that the brand seeks to celebrate using active wear as the conduit for this philosophical revolution.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Stefan Amali , a designer from Kingston , Jamaica. I am the CEO & Founder of Female Superiority. The slogan of our brand is that “THE MESSAGE IS EXPENSIVE.” We aim to create functional , high quality active wear and leisure way that is targeted to the women who debases professional objectification.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
That God is a man. God should always be referred to with female articles. God is a woman.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
We wanted to launch the FS since 2024 and our investor flaked at the last minute. I was so eager to go but life would have it that we were able to secure a new investor to launch this year. It was really heartbreaking at the time to see the first ideation of the drop dissipate into thin air but I think our new investor is more connected to the brand and have a stronger belief in the vision.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
I really admire my nieces a lot. Zoë Facey and Ava Grace Facey are the coolest people in the world to me because of their sense of individuality, their love for ice cream and their love for Uncle!
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If immortality were real, what would you build?
Immortality is real and art is is the only vehicle to immortality.
