Dr. Afua Asare
A Story of Sustainability
Since my childhood, I always dreamed of seeing the world, though I never imagined that working in public service as the head of Ghana’s Export Promotion Authority would be the path to get there. I would see magazines and catalogs with beautiful apparel that I longed to wear. Of course, every girl has a dream like that. Then one day, I woke up as CEO of GEPA, not a fashion designer of international repute, but promoting on the global market, everything made in Ghana including fashion! This is how I found myself becoming an advocate for sustainable fashion. My passion for the fashion world since my younger days kept me curious and eager to learn more about the industry beyond promoting it.
