I am obsessed with the fabric. I am obsessed with the print. I am obsessed with the fact that it is African and ethically made. This outfit reminds me of how genuinely grateful I am when I get to create and represent beauty that represents who I am and no one else. It's my signature. No validation needed.
Akwiyah is a personal style outlet. When I'm in Ghana I take advantage of the incredible fabrics that are synonymous with our culture. I get the opportunity to share our beautiful fabrics on here to who ever may stumble upon them.
The name Akwiyah (ay-kwee-yah) originates from Ghana - my hometown. In the Ashanti Region in Ghana when a child is born he/she is named after the day he/she was born. I was born on a Wednesday or Akwiydah. The name Akwiyah is derived from Akwiyadah. Contact: abiakua7891@gmail.com
