He be jammin’
One of Fola’s favorite places in NYC is the SoHo Jamaican eatery Miss Lily’s (left). “This place is chill, just like me,” says Fola.
Gettin’ it on
When it’s time to get in the mood, Fola throws on some Marvin Gaye or Teddy Pender-grass.
Style rules
Since he’s a professional stylist, Fola is well-qualified to call out fashion faux pas on other men. “Never wear a dress shirt untucked under a blazer,” he cautions.
No sweat
Fola prefers that women refrain from wearing sweat-suits for anything other than, well, sweating. “Don’t go out and run errands in one of those,” he says.
Jerkin’ around
Fola’s favorite food is Jamaican, and his favorite dish is jerk chicken with rice and peas.
Guilty pleasure
Haagen-Dazs Cookies & Cream
Law and order
Fola enjoys watching real-crime shows like “The First 48” and “Snapped.”
