I had so many questions as to why Diddy only got the time he did & after watching the Diddy documentary, it all made sense; Juror 160 (Black woman) was starstruck & Juror 75 (Indian man) had no real grasp of the cycle of abuse. The defense was fighting a losing battle from day 1.

History has been made! Ghana has officially secured Geographical Indication (GI) status for Kente cloth, protecting it globally as a true Ghanaian heritage.
This means only authentic Kente, woven in Ghana using traditional methods, can bear the name “Kente.” Just like Champagne must come from France, Kente now belongs, legally and proudly, to Ghana.
But behind this global victory stands the heartbeat of it all, Bonwire, the home of Kente. Generations of master weavers from this historic Asante town have turned threads into stories, patterns into pride, and craftsmanship into culture.
Today, the world celebrates Ghana…
But we say: Ayekoo to the People of Bonwire, your hands have woven Ghana’s name into history! 🕊️
This powerful shot was captured by BBC Journalist Amma Prempeh at Bonwire, featuring a group of the talented Kente weavers whose artistry continues to uphold Ghana’s rich heritage. Ayekoo Amma Konadu Yiadom Prempeh, you've played a major part in this success story of our nation Ghana 🇬🇭
