The last two months have been spent exploring the road from Bristol to Morocco. I drove over 4000 miles, drank a lot of tea, had interesting encounters, swam in rivers and oceans, caught up with old friends and broke down!
Last Thursday I began a journey of 5000 miles, like a swallow I am spreading my wings after a festival packed summer and heading south in search of the sun… and colourful clothing! I am embarking on an overland journey from England to Ghana!
For all of you who wonder what I get up to out in Ghana, here is a little snapshot of the past 2 months; the fun, the struggles, the mountains of fabric and all the wonderful people who make Ashanti Empress what it is!
Legend has it that Kente weaving originates from a tale of two Akan brothers Nana Kuragu and Nana Ameyaw who one day were hunting in the forest when they came upon the spider Ananse. They stopped and watched as Ananse spun his web and were struck by the intricacies of the woven design.
