The Ankara has been in existence for centuries and it is absolutely breathtaking how it has taken over the world…

I remember growing up in Lagos, Nigeria and the Ankara was mostly worn by the much older generation. It wasn’t regarded as “fashionable” especially to my generation. If you wore “it”, mom may have possibly forced you to.  Fast forward to now, not only have we (Africans) embraced the Ankara so forcefully and continue to create and structure beautiful designs with it, it is now seen in runway shows all over the world. 

This enlightens us to embrace what we have and run with it; the world would see the beauty just as we do- it might take sometime.

I am walking head high in my simple, very simple but yet very beautiful Ankara dress and I love it !

Thank you so much for stopping by my page…Keep staying true to yourself …
