With thoughts of finally turning Ghana Rising blog into a high fashion/lifestyle lead glossy, it dawned on me as I complied a list of who this said magazine was aimed at (the professional, savvy woman and man of Ghanaian origin -globally etc) -and what/whom embodied the this woman etc, -the likes of uber movers and shakers like: Dee Poku, Karen Cummings-Palmer (health, beauty, style commentator and the founder of the Core London fitness programme), June Sarpong et al sprung to mind and I realised that I haven’t googled Ms Poku for some time. Anyway I did, and stumbled across the above lovely images of: uber connected stylista, ex Paramount film publicist, marketing and branded entertainment guru, and one of the founding members of Wie Symposium (an annual event that takes place in New York and brings together the world’s most dynamic and powerful women -please google this organisation, -I promise you’ll be blown away) -and all round amazing British Ghanaian girl now ‘doing’ NYC/LA -fabulous. Dee Poku is beautiful, stylish, at the top of her game -and one of the many successful women of Ghanaian origin that Ghana Rising is inspired by, keep up the good work Dee.
