From Home Decor to Fashion, Australian Influencer Flex Mami's Account Is Like a Colourful Rainbow

Flex has a knack for seeing great potential in furniture from Facebook Marketplace or thrift stores. She's not afraid to get her hands dirty and apply a fresh paint job or use power tools to shape furniture the way she wants it. But be warned: this is a boring decor free zone!

With the talent and creative eye she has, Flex could easily pull away from promoting other Black Australian creators and dominate the space. However, Flex seeks to make sure her followers are exposed to numerous voices of colour. Her sense of community is a rare gem in such a competitive space.

If you're looking for colourful outfit inspiration, look no further than Flex Mami. Using bright colours, contrasting textures, and unique silhouettes, Flex styles outfits that are almost like technicolor works of art.

Twenty-twenty was a year many people finally felt comfortable talking about racism and violence against Black people after the murder of George Floyd. Flex Mami didn't hold back when she explained how oppression against Black people has been happening for years and how she talks "constantly about race not just when it's trendy." This take was a breath of fresh air after many influencers and brands took to posting things that felt performative and left Black followers with a bad taste in their mouths.

Flex frequently encourages her followers to be diligent with self-care. Whether it's sexual, mental, or physical health, she's going to remind you to take care of yourself! You can even listen to her get more in-depth about these topics on her podcast, Bobo & Flex, made in collaboration with philosopher Bobo Matjila.

Flex keeps it real on her Instagram and isn't afraid to joke around. From clips of her reading the new Twilight book to reposting hilarious memes, Flex packs a more colourful punch by making you laugh. Her Instagram feels like a private account for friends that you've been exclusively invited to join.

You didn't know you needed a blob coaster or an e-book about having better conversations until you saw them on Flex Mami's merch website, Flex Factory. You'll find all your home decor needs and even conversational card games for your next virtual game night with friends. Everything, including the packageing, is on par with Flex's bold aesthetic so you can have a piece of her colourful world in your own home!
