00:01For most people, when they think of a shoe-maker,
00:04he is a old man.
00:07And from this narrative I want to go away.
00:10I want to be always different than the others.
00:12Hello guys, my name is Richard Every, I'm 31 years old,
00:15I live in Frankfurt Germany and I'm a shoe-maker master.
00:18Even if I make shoes, I have to do my own shoes.
00:21And that's just to do it, because I can't live alone from Mars.
00:26My customers are really people who have a conscious life,
00:30who don't want to do exactly what they want.
00:32That's what they want to do and throw away.
00:34Depending on the model, depending on the job,
00:36it can take 10 to 12 weeks, sometimes even 14 weeks.
00:41There are over 200 steps.
00:43For the first part, it costs 2,000, because we have to live Mars.
00:47I love Frankfurt as hell, bro.
00:50It just has a different energy than the rest of Germany, I would say.
00:55But now I speak way more German than English,
00:58so even though to express myself, it's way easier,
01:02it comes way more natural for me.
01:04I don't know, I feel at home here, I would say.
01:07Definitely this is a white society, like, for sure, for sure.
01:12So it's just nothing I can overcome.
01:14I never felt different in Nigeria.
01:17You can never, like, really, really be completely, fully accepted.
01:22That's just how it is, you know, so you just have to live with it
01:25and then make the best out of it, you know.
01:28The long-term girl, for me, is to, like, someday,
01:32maybe go back to Nigeria and build, like, a school or something there,
01:35a school about building shoes.
01:37I don't see myself staying in one place forever.
01:42Well, I don't think so.
01:46See you later.
01:46.
