african art

Buying handmade items is one of the best ways to share gifts over the holidays.  And in this episode, I talk with Anitra Terrell, owner of Reflektion Design, business that celebrates the beauty and authenticity of African art.  Anitra's journey into the world of African art and textiles began during her time as a Fulbright scholar in Ghana. Her passion for authentic African art and culture, rooted in her upbringing in culturally rich Philadelphia, eventually led her to create an online store that sells the handmade objects she finds through her many trips to Ghana, Burkina Faso, Kenya and Uganda.  Anitra's narrative is a testament to the transformative power of embracing one's heritage through handmade objects.

There was a time when Aurora James never thought she'd have a seat at the proverbial table. Now, after dipping her toes in multiple industries, she's at the helm of the sustainable fashion company Brother Vellies and is proof that if you have a goal, you can make it happen, even if that means finding a new way of getting there. "I always knew that I wanted to work in fashion. I just knew that fashion wasn't working for me in a way that I needed it to," she tells Hillary Kerr on episode 25 of Second Life.
