KISSED BY MY SUNSUM.
In Akan ideology, the Sunsum is believed to be your Eternal Spirit. An indestructible piece of the Creator, your Sunsum is who you are and who you will continue to be after death. Inherited from the father, it is your personality or essence in its purest form, beyond the labels, groups, and societies we hold onto in this lifetime
Kissed by my Sunsum’, represents the feeling of connection with mind, body and Spirit creating the SS23 ‘FREE ME’ collection conjured. Working with this in my personal practices, I was reminded of the spiritual elements inherent within me.
In hindsight, I didn’t realize what would be released in freeing myself from both internal and external constraints. I didn’t realize the parts of me that had to be reckoned with and killed with kindness, in order for me to actually feel and be free.
