Countries in our Northern, Eastern and Western borders have all suffered some forms of civil unrests due to elections and disputes thereafter. These have left indelible scars, and mother Ghana is still home to many foreigners. Despite the prevailing challenges associated with elections, despite the unquenchable desire for ‘freedom and justice’; a slogan adopted by and for the people of Ghana, we also agree that Peace and Unity are cardinal points to enable us navigate this course to make freedom and justice attainable. ‘THUMB NOT FIST’ is the peace initiative that engages the use and blend of Entertainment and Fashion, which are major socio-cultural tools in today’s Diaspora, to promote the awareness that we share common beliefs, values, cultures and ethnicities, thus a perfect amalgam for unity, coexistence, and peace.
