Let’s talk about one of my favorite things! Colors! I swear if this world was a sketchpad I would be coloring away with as many crayons as I can find. My love for bright, bold colors and prints goes back to my heritage. When I think about the Cameroonian gatherings I attended when I was a kid, I remember being drawn in by so many colorful garments, rapas, and headwraps. What was most impressive to me was the way these women took so much time and effort to make their particular headwraps the biggest, or the most colorful, or the most complex design. Here are some images that stand out for their creative use of color whether it be in the design, or in the backdrops. Enjoy!
