How to Make Ghanaian "Light Soup!"

Hello Loves!

Welcome back. After a long hiatus, I’m so please to return to this creative space by sharing a bit of my own culture with the world. With the upcoming holidays season, I got the chance to sit down with my dad to learn a bit more of my Ghanaian culture through a love of food.

One of the staples of Ghanaian cuisine is “Light Soup.” A mixture of red meat, various seafoods, with savory a tomato base, I’m so grateful to be able to share this special moment in embracing and learning my culture by starting with this West African classic recipe.

As a “diaspora baby,” born in the United States to a West Indian mother and West African father, balancing all the facets of my up-bringing has always been a journey. My blessing? Have family to guide me. Hope you enjoy this latest video!

The Cost of Freedom

As I prepare for my upcoming trip a nudist colony, I've been doing so much reflection on what it means to actually express myself in this way. Hang ups surrounding nudism seem to be SO prominent within the American psyche. While some have embraced nudity, in many ways as another facet of life (with prominent nude beaches and even restaurants taking shape) .. Here in America, it seems that we are still wrestling with old "fire and brimstone" Puritan beliefs. The idea that nakedness is bad or or reserved for very limited situations ... and almost always only for private consumption.

"What to Pack ... When There's Nothing to Pack!"

As the summer begins to wind down, I've decided to take a brief vacation from running the Q.A.C webstore to get a bit of rest and relaxation before the busy fall season arrives. However, if you know me, you know I do nothing boring of ordinary, LOL. That said, in just over two weeks from now, I'll be doing what some might consider unthinkable ... Random ... Or highly debatable .... I'm going to St. Maarten & St. Barths to a nudist colony! That's right, a woman who absolutely loves clothes and fashion is actually going to a place where garments will be completely unnecessary! Don't get me wrong, dressing up and finding creative ways to adorn my body in unique pieces will always feel special to me ... And yet ... There's something equally rewarding about traveling and letting all the trappings go for a while.

Hey Loves!

Like most, I like to ease into my week, but this Monday? I'm all excitement! By now you've probably seen my weekly posts highlighting various indigenous global tribes in my Cultural Beauties" series. This week? I am so proud the share with everyone a part of my Ghanaian heritage and tribe that I rarely (if ever) discuss.
