I am currently building a line of Linen Spirit Dresses. They epitomize “Dressing Herbal” as a friend Sam Anderson once described my clothing. I have Spirit dresses in Vanilla Linen with Oat Linen panels. There is Avocado, Green Cabbage, and Lime Creme Lines. There is a Lemon Lime with Olive with real Bay Leaves in the Pocket. I have a beautiful cotton organdy Spirit Dress with all kind of intricate embroidery and raised cutwork. I will also make a pant that can be worn with the dresses for a longer leaner look. i know you want to see them so I will have pictures next week. Also I will have photos of the Taureg Purses from Amina in Niger, they are only $45 and super super cute. I have one and folk have been begging for one so I am so glad Amina got them to me.

Well, its taken over ten years and here on the last days of the first Lunar cycle of Spring AkibaSpiritCulture.com beams out in full radiance. Perfect Time. I think it is LOVELY, and I love the look of this Blog. Thank you Liya Kebede (my web designer), I knew that your beauty instincts and technical brilliance were the proper match for Spirit Culture. The five months of our friendship I refuse to let go of. Keep me posted on the best teas of the world, the haute couture fashion world, your ambassadorship to the World Health Organization, and your little ones.

I’ve been thinking about my Models throughout the years and my “new girls” in Charlotte. You sisters have given of your time and bodies so generously. I pray that the time we spent together in photo sessions have been fun and rewarding for you as well. Thank you for making my site BLING with your vibrance.

Thank you Jermaine and the AfroAmerican Cultural Center of Charlotte for being there for me. Photos from my first fashion show in Charlotte can be seen online at Photosouthpro.com, photographer Wayne Jernigan. And T. Ortega Gaines photographer for Charlotte Post November 4, 2005, I like what you did for me.

Thank you to my Photographers through the ages, most recently Ron Wilkins, and Moye.

Everyone Enjoy and Shop!

It was so invigorating to be in the company of my newborn granddaughter Raina Moriah, my youngest son Kamari, my daughter inlove Katie, and two year old grand daughter Mya just a few weeks ago. My baby Raina embodies Pure Spirit, that special feeling of newborns resonated so deep when I allowed myself to just be.

I told Katie, she has a dream husband. This boy has chef skills, cleans the kitchen, and happily bakes cookies from scratch. And oh yeah, every morning before he left for work at 6am he would write and leave for me a positive affirmation about how much God loves and supports me. I will post photos of this family in the days to come.

My Girls in Atlanta really took care of me in a real special way. Aba, Doris, Densua, Gwen, Atsede, Susan, Sandye and Alexis. These Sista Mama friends infused me with some ENERGY I needed. Especially Atsede and Densua. To feel these sisters handling their moment business was a vibe I needed to be in I just know that since I have been there I have become pretty again. I create my Vibration and I attract more of that vibration. GratitudeThe Photos were taken at my Trunk Show in Densua’s African Treasures at Macy’s Atlanta April 1, 2006. Mr. Wonderful Cheo and James gave us a wonderful Gumbo Meal to seal the evening. And Sandye thanks for your order.

How our work is finished is the real measure of quality.

I am so happy to enter spring 2006 with a website chiefly designed by Liya Kebede who is a super supermodel almost finished. Liya is super because she is a sista a mother and a humanitarian first and she has skills to take me to cyberspace in the style befitting Spirit Culture.

This site is a long journey that promises lots of beauty, great vibes, style, grace, joy and successful creative service to the world. Let me know how we can improve this website to serve you better.

I think the world is ready for festive urban couture online.

At my site you can buy online. Please call to inquire on one of a kind items and custom orders.

I am working on a series of Linen Spirit Dresses inspired by the Nomads of Niger, particularly the Taureg. I hope to learn to upload photos as I get them to allow you to experience a trunk show online.

Make sure and check my Tour schedule so that you can see when you can attend a live trunk show, or cal me if you would like to sponsor a private showing in your town.
