My brother came across a story that was covered by CNN regarding Ghanaian beads. I thought this was especially noteworthy due to the fact that out of all the countries represented on the continent of Africa, Ghana seems to be one country who's cultural influence seems to inspire so many around the globe through many different mediums.
Spring high fashion trends can clearly show that "tribal" is definitely in this season. From "Tribal Punk" shown below (found at
whowhatwear.com)...
.... to bold tribal prints that speak for themselves
This is a beautiful thing considering fashion even promotes tribal and world cultures through high fashion, and this "tribal" trend is quickly taking the world by storm, even for young Ghanaian natives who are rediscovering the richness and uniqueness of their culture represented through traditional beads.
All glass beads are imported directly from Ghana West Africa, and a percentage of all proceeds go to
Life For Africa (r) which is an NGO created by His Majesty King Adamtey I, a King in the Se State of Ghana. This organization is aimed at assisting in economic, health, and educational development for native Se and Ghanaian people.
