The Posh up Returns

On Saturday August 14, 2021, from 1-4 pm I will be hosting my third pop up shopping experience, “The Posh Up,” at Nubian Hueman in Baltimore, Maryland. I hosted my first pop up in November 2019 at Dream Village, another beautiful, black woman-owned, afro-centric space in Hyattsville, Maryland. While I was pregnant with my second child, I literally decided that I was tired of waiting until I had “enough” money, or followers or influence to pursue my vision of bringing a boutique fashion experience exclusively featuring fashion made in Africa. I was knowledgeable about style, trends, the brands and their capacity for bringing value to the US market and I was just sick of waiting till the circumstances were right. I started planning in March of 2019 and I received all of my inventory by October 2019. I had my first pop up in November and my second in January and then came COVID, lol.

COVID forced me to set up shop online, and that was never my business concept, but I believe now that online retail is key to my success and longevity in this venture. Regardless, I’m just happy and blessed to have remained in business despite COVID and to be experiencing my fashion people in person again soon. So below I’ve dropped a little catalogue of pictures of fashion gems that I have offered, or am currently offering for retail to remind myself of all that I’ve accomplished thus far and hopefully to inspire you to join me along this journey. I hope to see you on Saturday August 14, 2021, from 1-4 pm at 211 W Read St in Baltimore, MD (The Nubian Hueman Store).

My First Ghanian Wedding: Christie Brown + H&M

I attended my first Ghanian wedding this weekend and I was honestly at a loss for what to wear until the very last minute.  I didn't know the couple so I didn't have any material to sew but I still wanted to wear something cultural. I ended up pairing a Christie Brown (Ghanian designer) necklace with a dress from the H&M conscious collection (a couple seasons old). I think it worked out fine:
