(Vogue) December 21, 2021. When Renée C. Neblett (Founder & Director of Kokrobitey Institute) set eyes on the town of Kokrobite, she thought it was paradise. The Atlantic Ocean seemed to bow at its pristine beaches, about an hour west of Ghana’s capital of Accra. There were turtles making their way out of the water; mollusks and clams laid out on the rocks. “You had to dodge the crabs on the sand, it was so abundant,” she remembers. Read More

Esteban Sinisterra will dress Colombia’s first Afro-Colombian woman Vice President
Esteban Sinisterra will dress Colombia’s first Afro-Colombian woman Vice President
October 1, 2022Esteban Sinisterra is a 23-year-old Afro Columbian fashion designer. He's from the largely poor Pacific region of the country and has been granted the privilege to dress Columbia's first elected Afro-Colombian woman Vice President, Francia Márquez. She is the first in the country's history and the second woman to hold the post.
“In one way or another her history and my history are similar, so I think there was a very lovely spark there,” said Sinisterra.
“First, we accept and recognize that we have roots that connect us — which is Africa — but taking into account those roots we also express the territory where we’re from, the Colombian Pacific.
Each and every one of Francia’s outfits evokes that, Sinisterra said. “It is being able to show that this is who we are...so for me fashion, my fashion, is resistance.” Congratulations! FATA
