"I want to take you all on the journey as I launch RABA. The first collection includes kente cloth from Ghana, mud cloth (bologan) from Burkina Faso, and kuba cloth from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
I'm traveling a lot & meeting amazing people who maintain their traditions & create textiles that are breathtakingly beautiful–despite many challenges, including the legacy of colonialism"
