Oh gosh I'm so excited and nervous and I need help! So guys I've been accepted to feature a collection at Dakar Fashion Week 😳☺️💃🏿
I need all the support, local contacts in Senegal, any advice and things I need to know from those who have traveled and lived there. All the thing lol
My latest collection, "With Love from Detroit to Dakar" is the culmination of a heart that yearns to merge African and African American artistry. I am Black, I am African, I am Afro-Indigenous, I am immigrant, I am a descendant of the formerly enslaved, I am African American, I am Pan African, I am Afro-Caribbean, I am Black... Black... Blackity Black in all its glorious forms. With joy, pride, and culture at the forefront this collection is about merging worlds, emotional and cultural expression and reclaiming stolen parts of our identity.
Out of hundreds of applications, I have been selected as a featured designer for Dakar Fashion Week 2026, in Dakar, Senegal. December 1st to 6th 2026. This year is the 25th anniversary show.
I need your help to make this dream a reality!
We are hosting two exciting fundraising events.
1. A group outing to the Detroit Opera House
2. A fun sewing event - it's a one day project- No prior sewing experience necessary.
