BLACK CULTURE MEETS ASIAN CULTURE IN NEW BOOK BY CAMEROONIAN WIFE, MOM OF 3

What does Black Asian solidarity mean? Africa Yoon, the Cameroonian American author of a memoir entitled The Korean, says it looks like telling stories of when we get along too. Including a story of an A-list Korean American actor showing her memoir support.

It was two days before her book launch and she got a major supporter “I had been working pretty hard and stopped to rest, then mid-day Saturday; I got a notification that Actor and Ambassador Daniel Dae Kim, a member of the White House AAPI Advisory Committee and fellow Hawaiian, mentioned me in a viral post on Instagram. “What he did sent a ripple that helped my book launch in a strong way and it is far more important than he and I. Seeing an Asian icon supporting a Black woman in her efforts to succeed is course-changing. When we ask for our lives to matter you see it’s actually in those moments.”

FOUNDER OF AFRICAN-INSPIRED FASHION ACCESSORY AND HOME DÉCOR BRAND LAUNCHES NEW SPRING COLLECTION

Zifa Awoudi, the founder and CEO of ZifasBoutique, is gearing up to release her company's new spring collection titled Couleur En Printemps. This new collection consists of unique and stylish African print handbags, statement gold necklaces, mud-cloth beddings, and mini bags.

ZifasBoutique is an African-inspired fashion accessory, and home décor brand based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and inspired by afro aesthetics from West Africa. The inspiration for the brand can be traced back to the founder’s upbringing in Togo West Africa, where she would help her mother and aunt sell fabrics during school breaks. This birthed a passion for Afro-Fusion fashion which would manifest decades later as ZifasBoutique — aptly named after the founder herself.
