Breathing New Life Into Antique Fabrics A Sustainable Take On Luxury
ear TrooRa Readers, The Summer Issue takes us an ocean away from our home in the Bay Area, to Africa, the birthplace of civilization. The Summer Issue doesn't just shine a light on the innovation and creativity bursting out of the mother continent; it hands a megaphone to those leading the charge. The Summer Issue takes a broad and inclusive approach, highlighting movers and shakers in a myriad of industries, from artists and filmmakers attracting new attention to the continent to chefs and designers bringing traditional African influence to the masses. TrooRa's talented team of contributing writers tactfully wades into the complicated issues plaguing Africa—like the stigma surrounding mental health—and brings attention to the leaders fighting for change in these spaces.
It's no secret that Africa is a land of creativity, full of artisans who honor tradition while searching for innovation. Our team interviewed leading creators in fashion, world-renowned chefs, and daring designers. Beyond the arts, our writers looked to the growing technology sector in the continent to spotlight innovators and entrepreneurs making waves in tech. Turn the page and immerse yourself in all things Africa in our latest Summer Issue. Happy reading.
