Our Story
Founded in 2018 by Christelle Patricia Tsakou, African Fashion Week North America (AFWNA )
Is the World most culturally diverse gathering featuring African Descendants who aim to connect to their roots, and discover their heritage.
As one of the most high-profile Africa-focused events in North America, AFWNA will be the most anticipated event celebrating African Fashion, arts, History, Talent, Culture and achievement in the World.
Our fashion show & live auction is hosted in support of mental health Awareness, benefiting the African immigrant Families Together , (www.weAfifat.org)
By bringing representatives of a wide range of Immigrants from all over the world under one roof, we aim to shift the narratives about Africa and the African diaspora by re-branding the perception of Africa as a whole.
