#voguechallenge 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 . BIRIBI WO SORO is the Adinkra symbol for Hope, a literal symbol that translates to “ God is in the heavens.". We’ve named this piece in honour of BIRIBI WO SORO, a statement to the importance of affirmation; since God is in the heavens, he can hear the cries and prayers of our people, and “one day” act on them. The neck rap and ovals combine to form an infinity sign, an image of hope that our ancestors craved so that the oppressed would be free. The undergarment and beads speak of the unjust pain endured when their humanity was stripped. #BlackLifeMatter This is the year of our return - M and C . .

EPA is the adinkra symbol for inequality, a literal symbol handcuffs. We’ve named this piece in honour of EPA, a statement to the importance of our voice. A statement to our right to speak, to be, to freedom being seized and still to this day compromised. The gag, chains, and beads speak of the restriction our ancestors suffered from. A statement to the gruesome treatment they endured where they’re humanity was stripped. #blacklivesmatter This is the year of our return - M and C . .

M and C Line would like to introduce you T.H.O.N.R. - The Hole Of No Return. A collection that honours the journey our ancestors have taken and looks to the future we will have. It starts where we all started, the Motherland. With our research coming straight from our familial ties to Ghana, the fabric hand made in Bonwire, the beading in Accra and casting in Ada. It all comes together where we are now, the U.K. With the garments, presentation and visual album produced in Cornwall. We are here to remember our pain but celebrate our strength. This is the year of our return - M and C Photographer - Jordan Woods @woods.photo Photographers Assistant - Peter Ashenhurst @peterashenhurst Model - Alyanna Graham @heythereitsally
