I know right? Lack of information and access to these resources is what’s keeping the industry on a go slow. But fortunately, some of the artists have found their way into the international market. So all hope is not lost.

Good thing they have you, All they have to do is put together an awesome profile showing their wonderful works and hand it to great bloggers such as yourself to help publicize, then build a chain of individuals all over Africa to help market and advertise then subsequently go worldwide.

Now you are talking Desmond. I have great plans underway to help market their crafts and enable them to showcase the rich African culture to the world. My dream is to see these awesome handmade designs worn, loved and appreciated internationally. Also, it will make the livelihood of these awesome Craftsmen improve and create employment. Thank you for appreciating my efforts
