The Hidden Meanings of African Clothing
What I wish to present in this video is the importance of "knowing" what you are wearing and in that way you can avoid erroneous cultural appropriation. It may seem insignificant to the Western or modern mind, but it means much more than can be stated in a short video on the topic. Take a moment and do your own research. Be aware of the political, economic, cultural and even spiritual significance of the African garments you chose to wear. Educate yourself about the history and purpose of the garments. Empower yourself with this knowledge. And share this knowledge with others.
It is one thing to celebrate African History during Black history month by wearing African garb but I feel that it is most important, that we wear Africa in our hearts instead of simply displaying Africa in our styles and fashions. Let's preserve the significance, meaning and power behind the garb and revel in the knowledge of the diversity as well as the commonality that we find on the African continent and the African Diaspora.
