WHY ME FIRI GHANA
The Me FiRi GHANA brand was developed having realised that a generation shift is occurring – primarily amongst the Ghanaian youth living in countries outside of Ghana. We found that Ghanaian Youth living outside of Ghana were proud to claim to be Ghanaian, yet had no modern day methods of expressing their identity in a way one could relate to.



OUR STORY
As British born patriotic Ghanaians, we decided to do our part to bring about unity within the Ghanaian community and re-invest back into our country.

"BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE" - Mahatma Ghandi

In December 2008 the Me FiRi GHANA brand was conceived whilst studying at University. The unique design was created to showcase to the world a part of the Ghanaian identity, but before we knew it, we had a clothing line which was being demanded from people all over London and since creating our website we have connected communities from all over the world!


OUR INSPIRATION
It all started with a simple quote from Dr Kwame Nkrumah which read "the independence of Ghana is meaningless unless it is linked up with the total liberation of the African continent".

We read this approaching Ghana’s 50th Independence Day celebration and thought, "How far have we come as a nation - or even as a continent - to achieving a United States of Africa" But rather than complaining, we looked to do our part to be proactive and make a difference...

Everyone has a dream, an idea or some kind of ambition. But the only thing holding this vision becoming a reality is the ability to take the steps towards that vision. Dr Kwame Nkrumah took several steps towards his, and although he did not managed to see his ideals become a reality we are trying our part to make it happen...


THE ME FIRI GHANA BRAND
The Me FiRi GHANA brand is a form of expression. An expression of identity. An expression of love for Ghana. The “Me FiRi GHANA” brand is a catalyst being used to create community cohesion and opportunities globally for all those who share our love for Ghana.

The clothing was the initial gateway which helped to bridge the gap between communities who love Ghana. We are now exploring means to help bring global cohesion, opportunities and development through the brand and partnerships with those who share our passion.
