INTRODUCING...KWETU
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
- African proverb -
Starting 2021, in support of all the black owned craft business, I decided to introduce Kwetu, (swahili word to mean "at our place"). Opening doors and creating a platform for other crafters in the African-Caribbean community to be able to share their talents and crafts to more audiences in the UK . It is my hope that this will bring more awareness to their brands as well.
