It's such a sense of pride that we have something that's Ghanaian from history brought from the Golden Stool, if you want to go back to the origin story. We used 'Gye Nyame' for example, I know it's not officially the king of Adinkra symbols but I think it's the most recognized. For me, I'm so blessed to really be here.

You can take a simple meaning and create a whole story and different people connect to those stories and those meanings that are inspirational in such different ways. Just learning the history and that each symbol has a name, meaning and history. We have beautiful nature, we have beautiful language, we have beautiful food and so much.Īnd then on top of that, I started the whole brand with Adinkra symbols and I still do Adinkra symbols. Obviously, moving from England just the sunshine and the beautiful weather helps as well. I know not everyone feels like that but for me, I take so much inspiration from my surroundings.

Just being in Ghana is so full of life and colour, everything is musical, like dance and poetry and arts. There are other parts of the system and other ways in which things work that if you're not here and you don't understand it or don't have someone to guide you through it, you'll just have no idea, so there are countless things.Ĭan you speak about what it means to you to be living in the country that inspires the pieces you work on for your luxury Jewellery brand, SAHMANI?

So for me, it was about learning a whole new way of doing things and relaxing a bit because everything is not as fast-paced as I was used to, which, I was aware of a little bit coming on holidays, but you know when you have to open bank accounts and then you have to get a driver's license and all of these things. Everything works differently, and for me sometimes it can feel like things are broken but they are not broken, they're just different. Maybe it's almost a bit of arrogance, like, 'well, Ghana is my home, and this is how I live in England so I'm just going to copy and paste my life from England over to Ghana.' And it just doesn't work that way. I think one of my biggest challenges, I would say, moving here, was that I have my perceptions of how I wanted to live my life and how Ghana was going to fit around me. Is there something you learnt about permanently living in Ghana that you didn't know about before relocating from the UK? I have had a lot of days where I'm like 'Oh my gosh, what have I done? Who sent me? This is crazy.' " I am living my best life right now so I am happy. Visiting is so different from living here, and I'm not going to lie to you and tell you every day is like 'oh yes, I love It'. I know it sounds crazy but I really love Ghana. I come to Ghana every year, twice a year, three times a year, sometimes just for a weekend. I'm half Ghanaian so it's very much coming home to me. I think that Ghana is amazing, obviously. I think it's been interesting because the Coronavirus hit so the whole 2020 was just a bit crazy, but, yeah, officially it's been about 2 years. Can you share your experiences so far? Are you happy you made the decision? It's been about two years since you relocated to Ghana from London.

In an interview with OkayAfrica, Asamany talked about deciding to relocate to Ghana, using her fashion accessories to tell the story of Ghana, and her passion for empowering women. In her former life, she worked her way up from a personal assistant to a management consultant for HSBC, Barclays, private wealth asset manager Northern Trust and other big-name financial institutions. With that kind of motivation, a young Asamany started crafting demi-fine rings and pendants with a contemporary take on Adinkra symbols that represented her cultural identity. Asamany was born to a Ghanaian businessman father and a British Caribbean lecturer mother who instilled a "dream big" spirit in her.
