Fascinated by the intricate weaving, the hunters spent weeks observing & learning the art of weaving. Proficient enough, they beat the bark of a "Kyenkyen" tree into fiber. These fibers gave birth to the first Kente Cloth. Kente Cloth originated with the Ashanti people of Ghana West Africa around the 12th century. Today Kente cloth has become an emblem of ethnicity for many African Americans, although kente cloth is worn by people of many cultures.

Twyla Gordon is responsible and efficient. Her goods are of top quality
does not return calls, shipping is poor, bad customer service, always a poor quality answering machine.get in business or close down!!!!
I always wanted to learn belly dancing, and the Nazeem Allayl studio is great for that: they offer classes at different levels, and since they don't allow walk-ins into their six week courses, one doesn't have to go over the basics over and over again every time someone new joins. I had so much fun performing in the studio show, and I can't wait till the next one.
