Threads by Dreads
Fashion
Christiana Afotey, was born in New Jersey and rooted in a Ghanaian household, with two older brothers and one older sister. She was always learning and experiencing something new from the rich West African culture. At a young age, she found herself to be curious enough to learn how to speak one of the native languages (Ga), along with Ghana’s history and tradition. On a recent visit to Ghana, Christiana was able to fall more in love with her homeland country. Each visit was an opportunity for her to educate herself about her ancestors, different cultures, and the way of life in Ghana.
With all this diversity and experience within Christiana, she couldn’t resist sharing a piece of the ‘Motherland’ with friends and family, from near and far. With each item that Threads by Dreads produces, represents a piece of culture, not just from Ghana, but a representation of what is sacred to her people of Ghana.
Christiana was inspired by ambition to see more modern and casual African wear in her own closet. She states that, “I wouldn’t be creating something I wouldn’t wear myself.” Although she adores and respects the fashion creativity of designers worldwide, she chooses to put her own twist on things within the industry. The time she spent in Ghana also plays a huge role in her inspiration to start TBD. Her adoration of seeing fellow Ghanaians in eye-catching and unique clothing working in corporate offices, hospitals, musical performances…just about anywhere! So with that, the first needle was threaded at Threads by Dreads. And with that Christiana plans to add something unique to the world of fashion.
