Grammy Award winner Melissa Viviane Jefferson, known professionally as Lizzo, is an American singer, rapper, songwriter, and flutist. Born in Detroit, Michigan, she moved to Houston, Texas, where she began performing, before moving to Minneapolis, where she began her recording career.
Body Positive Lizzo
Lizzo speaks out for fat women who are being left behind in what many call the body-positivity movement. In one of her videos, the “Juice” singer points out that a movement started by fat women, particularly women of color, has been muddled by a blanket call for body acceptance that tends to favor midsize and skinny women who receive praise for accepting their so-called imperfections.
This has been her theme ever since and without a doubt, her social media is choked with semi-nude images of herself.
Non Ghanaian Kente In The Mix
Her recent eye-popping stunt shows the American plus-size singer in Kente print swimwear. Kente is a very popular eye-catching Ghanaian fabric with so much rich cultural history that has recently been halted in business due to the kente print imports from China that the Ghanaian government refuses to halt.
The kente print bikini rocked by Lizzo in the images below is from a Ghanaian UK brand dubbed Ashanti Swimwear. The brand launched online in 2016, London. And ever since then it coined the stretchy kente print swimwear trademark which it still sells today as seen on Lizzo in the raunchy images below.
Feast your eyes on these newly published images by the singer.

UPCOMING TOP EVENTS!
Ghana’s leading fashion event Accra Fashion Week is scheduled for 7-11 December 2022 following their 5th-year celebration last year in 2021. Accra Fashion Week is a platform for African designers that can be compared to fashion weeks across the major capitals. It aims to fill the void which sees tremendous creativity and culture across the continent with the absence of an operating fashion infrastructure.
The epic event took place at Ghana Dubai in Accra, and saw models march down the steps from the Kwame Nkrumah Monument whilst being followed by a spotlight, before circulating the central fountains. Memories of the exciting night still give chills as guests revisit the experience on youtube.
However, rest assured that 2022 is going to be even more exciting with greater performances and an upgraded designer collection. FashionGHANA.com is sure to bring you the exclusives we did on www.FashionGHANA.com/TV. All last year’s shows are available to watch on youtube. Designer’s registration is ongoing on the AccraFashionWeek.org website.
As we embark on another year of celebrating African culture, our theme for 2022 is “Afrofuturism.” This term was created to explore the developing intersection of cultural aesthetic, philosophy of science, and philosophy of history as it relates to the African Diaspora. During this year’s events, Afrochella will bring “Afrofuturism” to life through fashion, food, art and music. In 2019, the African Diaspora returned home to the continent for the “Year of Return.” This year, we will explore the endless possibilities of what “Afrofuturism” could look like in 2022 and beyond.
