Peter Mudahy the owner of the Pak's beauty supply store has recent come out and said that he is BLACK?! In an interview on the coiled podcast (linked below). When asked his ethnicity he claimed the he is Jamaican. I found this very interesting because this is the first time that it has come to light in public. I am not disputing his ethnicity although by my passion it sounds as though I am.

Just for context Pak's is known to be a Pakistani Family run business which dominates the hair industry here in London.UK.

I find it interesting that one can pick and choice when they want to be black in public, its a great marketing tactic and he is not the first person to use it.

Not only that he made a very questionable comment in the interview which was flag up by Leanne Alie:

CEO of Pak's: 'to me there is no value in buying Black owned and supporting Black owned businesses'Yet he still tried to position Pak's as part Black owned.

I have my thoughts but I think I may have said too much already. Listen, Enjoy, Let me know your thoughts.
