As previously mentioned, team PD is packing up shop and heading to dreary London to brighten things up at Africa Gathering this weekend. We are planning on meeting up with these enterprising founders of Made in Africa that were featured on CNN. One of the founders is none other than fashion designer Ozwald Boateng, who’s been blazing fashion runways from Accra to Paris with his sought-after men’s fashion line.
We will post our one-on-one chat with Ozwald, and his MIA co-founders, Hassan Kimbugwe & Chris Cleverly if our schedules manage to sync up in London. In the mean time, enjoy the above CNN profile of these enterprising Diasporas hard at work building a better brand for Africa.
