#CapCut Makola Market Chronicles: Fabric, Focus, and 10 Pounds Later šļøāļø Yesterday, I braved the iconic Makola Market in Accra to shop for fabrics for my next Aloha Glamour collection, and baby, it was a WHOLE experience. Thereās something about Ghana that always recharges me and reminds me of my why. The colors, the energy, the cultureāitās like a reset button for my creativity. But let me tell youā¦ that sun? š„ Whew, it was cooking! Add in the fast walking, the crowds, and me and my girl Gladys weaving through stalls like we were on a mission. Iām pretty sure we lost 10 pounds just from walking alone. š Makola Market isnāt your regular shopping tripāitās like every big mall youāve ever been to but on steroids. Established in the 1920s, itās been the heartbeat of commerce in Accra, full of energy, culture, and chaos in the best way. You can find everything thereāfabrics, earrings, beads, bracelets, clothes, spicesā¦ I had to remind myself, āSis, FOCUS!ā I came for fabrics, not to bring the entire market back with me. By the time we wrapped up, I was drained but fulfilled. These fabrics are going to be something special, and I canāt wait to bring them to life. Shopping in Makola reminded me once again of the beauty in hard work, hustle, and heritage. Ghana stays giving me what I need, even when it takes all my energy in the process. If youāve never been, add it to your listābut come ready to sweat, shop, and soak it all in.
