KOD who recently sat down to discuss matters with Face2Face Africa elaborated on how foreign brands are emulating our culture such as Ghana’s rich kente cloth without acknowledging or crediting us or the origin of the handwoven cloth which symbolizes royalty.

I am sure by now you’ve seen our kente being replicated. Major fashion designers are using our ‘ahenema’ as well without giving us credit and they are charging so much,” he said. He urged Ghanaians in the interview to own the narrative and sell their culture in their unique designs. “There is no patent for some of these things but who do you blame? It is up to us Africans and people in the African creative space to go all out and own what is ours proudly otherwise other people are going to bite from here and it’s always been like that,” he added.
