Fugu

In Attire

My mother brought this African shirt called fugu that my grandmother gave to her. This African wear was made with a specific fabric and design. She gave me this shirt because it was a African shirt that my grandfather loved. Sadly, he passed away and my grandmother kept this African shirt as a souvenir to remind her of him. And when my mom decided to go to Ghana, my grandmother gave it to her to give it to me to wear.

This specific African cloth is very important to my culture because it shows the kind of clothing they wore in my background place and what kind of design was known at that time.
