born from multicultural generations of creativity

"in the labyrinthine streets of Mexico, Akasha's tale begins, woven from the threads of a humble artisan's free spirit. with hands guided by passion, a wild craftsman fashioned jewels of silver over velvet covered tar, each stroke a whispered ode to the soul of the earth.

then, from the distant lands of South Africa, a flame-bearing soul journeyed forth, carrying with her more than mere gems. with her arrival, streets transformed into sanctuaries, stalls into stores, and dreams into boutique realities. together, humility and passion danced in harmony, birthing a legacy of vibrant allure, embodied in the essence of Akasha.

thus, from the tender embrace of tradition and the fierce blaze of innovation, a new dynasty emerged, nurtured by the dreams of ancestors and the aspirations of progeny. in the realm of elegance and artistry, Akasha, a testament to the enduring legacy of love, perseverance, and the timeless beauty of Lapis Lazuli."

historically, in many societies where women did not have equal rights to property ownership or economic independence, jewellery served as a form of portable wealth and security. since women often didn't have access to owning land or managing finances, they would invest in jewellery as a means of safeguarding their wealth. jewellery could be easily transported, exchanged, or sold in times of need, providing women with a measure of financial autonomy within the constraints of their societal roles. this practice was particularly prevalent in cultures where inheritance laws favored male descendants or where women's economic opportunities were limited.

they convinced me

i only had a few good years left

before i was replaced by a girl younger than me

as though men yield power with age

but women grow into irrelevance

they can keep their lies

for i have just gotten started

i feel as though i just left the womb

my twenties are the warm-up

for what i’m really about to do

wait till you see me in my thirties

now that will be a proper introduction

to the nasty. wild. woman in me.

how can i leave before the party’s started

rehearsals begin at forty

i ripen with age

i do not come with an expiration date

and now

for the main event

curtains up at fifty

let’s begin the show
