DAY 3 Wearing African Prints and Styles: KENTE

Kente is a handwoven textile from Ghana, created by weaving narrow strips of cotton and silk. Traditionally worn by royalty and for important ceremonies, Kente has been adopted as the official fabric of Ghana. It's said to have been inspired by the intricate weaving of Ananse the spider.

Kente patterns and colors have specific meanings, for example:
💛 Gold = royalty, wealth, prestige
💚 Green = growth, renewal, and the land
❤️ Red = sacrifice, struggle, and spiritual power
💙 Blue = harmony, peace, and love
🖤 Black = maturity, spiritual energy, and ancestral connection
