“When we developed the concept for Storytellers In FashionTM, the larger vision was to curate a platform for 54 Kingdoms and other emerging / seasoned Pan-African artists to share our stories through our creative own outlets such as music, visual art, poetry, film, comedy, etc. as a celebration of the arts on one main stage. Hence, the audience gets to experience and create their favorite moments through the different artistic genres displayed during the night.” ~ Kwaku Awuah, President of 54 Kingdoms.
