About me

Location	Saskatoon, Sk., Canada
Introduction	"Where are Your ROOTS?" Mine are in Africa! Although I am a Jamaican born "African Sista", and I can only hope to someday visit the birthplace of my ancestors; I love the continent from whence I came. Every chance I get to research, or learn something new about my ancestry, I dive right in. I believe it is essential to my exsistence, and my childrens' future to know my history. To reflect this, I design contempory Afrocentric clothing and accessories for men and women. I choose to "WEAR my roots" - a visual statement of the heritage I value and carry proudly in my heart. For this same reason, I teach traditional African dance workshops for children with an educational component about the people, and culture who originally did these dances and why. I also love story-telling in the oral tradition, because it connects me to a small piece of my peoples' way of life; passing on our history through WORD-SOUND-POWER, rhythm and music.
