Once upon a time, a young man from Ghana, Africa would get a scholarship in the heart of New York City, where he pursued his dreams studying at NYU. As fate intervened, he met a charming American, with whom he fell deeply in love. They married and welcomed their firstborn, Akosua into the world.
At the tender age of five, Akosua’s parents decided to start a new chapter in Ghana. Settling in before the turbulence of Jerry Rawlings' second major coup, Akosua's childhood was an exquisite blend of two vibrant cultures. She cherished her summers, flying back and forth to the States, spending time with her grandmother, cousins, and friends.
As the years passed, Akosua realized the immense richness of her unique story. She embraced her Pan-African identity and the cultural heritage inherited from both sides of the world. This appreciation for her roots and the essence of her journey ignited a spark within her heart.
Inspired by her life's intricate tapestry, Akosua set forth on a mission to share her story with the world. She believed that stories hold the power to unite us, celebrate diversity, and celebrate life itself. And so, with immense love for both her African heritage and American upbringing, she birthed a brand that would encapsulate the essence of it all.
