of course, for all of our scoring, we say there about never giving up sports like every weekend on d w, as we get it has one of the world's largest goals deposit. it's so we don't, it makes sense that we bring you today's show, steve in gold, one of the african reasons best known for they cross and shift and gold and tales and fuse with miss and tradition is west africa, also known as the gold coast in modern times created, the t is as good as gold, and that's exactly what we bring to you on today's. so we travel to what is known today and gone to where much of the sante goals connections come from to see how

a modern artist is creating art in her own. unique way to find out how companies born 0 val my longer has brought his it's a national cause, the training and made a local and he's a celtic city of t godaddy. and later in berlin, we visited calvin jones, whose music exploded onto the scene, taking even him by surprise. i am having some time got and you're watching every megs the today. i met the guy that you be all said the to bring you a bit of gold history. within these walls is a collection that showcases $350.00 items from the 19th to

a 20th century. these items mostly from west africa, give us insight into the us of the goldsmith, all the reach. and it is a rare glimpse into the wealth of african art history and culture, the full colonial rule. but before we delve deep into this incredible collection, join us as we visit a new read, okay, stylus. re k, make the much contested conversation about african hair. i really consider myself to be no ordinary slightest. i the physical need disappears. i really just disappear and creation takes over in the food and when i did step back to look at this crease, sometimes i'm also amazed at freaking here has always been a subject matter that everyone has an opinion about. sparking debates on topics around identity and conforming to wides to ideas does the way in which african

women we, they, he really send out a specific message as black people with like, expressing ourselves in different ways. we like really know, hey, in different ways, the type of do you see that was mazda 2 suspects women was mobile wisdom standards . so it was like a no goal zone for me to even try to cut my hair and see what my natural ahead looks like. but the day i've been, oh my goodness, i was like, i'm never ever going back again. i like changing my look quite often and having my natural full be top pay is actually a bit more difficult to maintain. for myself. it's very easy to be creative with your way. you could tie it whatever color you want, whereas there's a lot to consider when you have to put such chemicals on your own natural hit me, you send me do my is a head, silas with a different for. 2 this is more then across today me, me isn't got the home township johannesburg, collaborating with other creative well forging their own thoughts in their

respective industries and building their professional portfolios for me, these huge showcase her talent, opening doors for her croft and uncovering her hold of this world, the imagination in the here space. i label myself as a natural, a hair stylist, not disregarding anything else that doesn't fall under the umbrella of natural. and yes, we can play around with raise and weeds and weeds, but understanding that you are not the week when that week comes off, you still need to be confident with the he said, comes out of your scouts. the concept of a tissues is in essence, a collaboration between creative. this is a collaboration between our designers and makeup artist myself as a his stylus and our photography. we are yeah. just send a bray thing. that's the lifestyle. when our photography was last week and i have 2

very strong male models and we'll have 2 females. all is that we've never really seen male figures with like, you know, elaborate stuff stood hid pieces. and i was like, i feel like this is my opportunity to take that chosen nasa king, you know, with his crowd my director from high school actually advised that i look into studying. he addressing it to him was like smiley face. so cool, ms. my me, i'm not saying that you're not good in performing arts, but there's something that just lights up every time we have to play. cuz you still interested in styling, all these characters does come from the family. that's why fi when you get to metrics, get to metric and that's it. and find yourself a job so you can help them resolve this siblings or for kids that are growing up.

and so when i went back and i was like, i wouldn't be my mom was like, why are you leaving? performing on the thing that has taken me to places in spaces. i remember i have just come back from germany on the tools as us just like why, why would you leave that to want to be busy with hey, for the longest of times they would just like the whole whole. she's busy with her home. now they can see that it hasn't. it's my life. a pod from silent models for tv and photo sheets, maybe runs her own head studio from home. and she's full of tips and wisdom and making sure one's natural. he stays flourishing. so we're prepping the hey. we need is

a handle to drive because we break it some water and just do some thing at the tangling before we can get started. i feel like it plays a very significant role, especially with it spirituality. and i don't want to just record it and say african spirituality, spirituality as a whole, within our african, the rates of wendy is a funeral head plays a significant role with the family may, should also they, he in morning there are women that are not allowed to show say hey, to the community and needs specific people on mates to see that hey, you cover up so i believe every time i touch someone's head, i'm touching more than the strength that i see. yeah, i am definitely inspired by our african ancient his styles because it kind of gives me

a chance to re mix it the way i see and how it plays out in my head. and there is no wrong or i will not have that in any opinion. of c and for weeks and that's what actually makes the here to show you creative shaking of what design arts and beauty is all about. and you are less than gone. that is bringing her right. you also world in the streets of cra, let's check this out. i've been able to find out in the culture that i have implemented in my work, the northern parsons, that influenced my work so much and then the one to most of my works. also, i've been able to then the love,

the supports and the unity of the northern people. and i represent this who measuring my work to realize that my work is always very pride's the college and very happy the i decided to and science of arts because it's something that has always been in me . my mom was refreshing and his and i had by the was, i'm your i live on my dad's side. so i come from a long line of xylophone producers which is also asked in cross initially. so, subconsciously i grew up in the presence of these things and when it goes to the points, way, hacks, of insights i need to push it doesn't, even though is something that was supposed to do. my switch from having the korea and cultural science. so i wasn't supposed to move in the beginning, but also my career to close my family and everybody has been very,

very supportive. my mom in the initial stages, i couldn't swap a head around exactly what i wanted to do. the access and see was something the boy that has so much let's go to a point and she realized that she had to support saying, because there was no way i was breaking down from people in the office. i made up my mind and my me that the coming out to a new point of self ask that to go me wireless in across when a bank uncles work is seen in many commercial buildings throughout the city. this self thoughts out is who made it, and every culture has made a name for myself. in the hash mill dominique that i've seen since she started working at the new list in 2015 when it comes out of cultural science. and it's the are kind of similar and not similar of the same time. because on the field we

practice things like cope with titian, land rotation, and that's a skill like when it comes to couple teaching, you have to know how to arrange your cups in this field. for like a maximum you, when it comes to odds, i implements the same tactic. have to prepare for the week. i have to make sure i know how it went through teeth. my colors with teeth, they puts ends in the work. so in a way for me it's similar my work now such as new meal philosophies like times these reality freedom how to be a self and be true to yourself. and as i move out from most of these, i try very much to incorporate things. i have lands for my culture into my way to educate people on how to find things. so
