Mami Afrika Designs' founder,
Wawi Amasha explains, "My goal is
to change the way people think
about African fashion.  Majority of
young Africans choose to dress in
a more western dress walking away
from their traditional dress, but I
understand why and that's why I
want to change that by offering
designs that still represent our
African tradition but with a modern
twist.  These designs are fun,
funky, and fabulous. They are to
be enjoyed by women from all
walks of life, especially those not
afraid of color."
