A Love Letter to Accra;

Glorious Accra, to celebrate you is to celebrate your fierce women, so many fierce women wherever I go. 

They run this town with an entrepreneurial spirit that is impossible to ignore.

Their impact is widespread. It feels as if everything you touch here has been influenced by women.

From the fashion to the factories to the flavours, the women of Accra are fueling the present for a vibrant future.

I love to see it. Go get it, ladies.
