At Abosom Artistry, my focus is on the ART: Ancestral Reconnection and Transformation. Guided by the Ancestors, reconnecting to their teachings and traditions - crafting with raw materials and my own hands - and being transformed in the process while promoting the transformation of others through my artistry.

You see - "Abosom" is said to be the word for "Ancestor" in one of the languages of the Bamiléké people of Cameroon. The Bamiléké tribe is very diverse and therefore many languages are present. When I did my research, this is the first of many words that was suggested and I was called to it, so I am using it.

Why use an Afrikan word for a U.S. business? Because my DNA revealed that my ancestry is 97% from the Bamiléké tribe of Cameroon. It is a means of reconnecting to the Ancestors that guide me.

I have been creating since childhood - a passion that I never truly understood why it was so strong. But now I have a clearer picture because the Afrikan people are well known for their craftmanship of fabrics, jewelry, and other adornments. I create because it's in my blood!

My mission is to tend to my passion to create using ethically sourced, authentic Afrikan fabrics - purchased directly from the artisans residing in the Motherland of Afrika. In doing so, I am fulfilling my calling to create, supporting the Afrikan people where my roots hail from, and bringing just a bit of the Afrikan culture to the Afrikan Diaspora and beyond.

Each handbag, set of earrings and other adornment, and home decor accessory is made by my own hands. It is my commitment to ethical practices, innovation, and customer satisfaction. The Abosom Artistry handbags are made in small quantities of no more than 5. You will not see hundreds of women carrying your same bag. The same remains true for the other items in my shop, they are made in small quantities to ensure exclusivity and quality.
