The event organizer Adewunmi Jade Jaiyeola, said the activities on the bill are aimed at empowering the people of Milton Keynes to identify and develop their potential while celebrating their cultures and promoting their values.
“The event is also intended to raise awareness of the needs and aspirations of individuals and groups to enable them to fully integrate into their localities. We expect over 500 guests, including the Mayor of Milton Keynes, Councillor Derek Eastman and other dignitaries, who will engage in healthy interactions that will actually engender true unity,” noted Ms Jaiyeola.
In a statement, Ghanaian International fashion Designer Tetteh Plahar, confirmed that he will present his latest collection at the event to stimulate the interest of guests in authentic African designs, saying his styles are a unique blend inspired by globalization, architecture and taxidermy.

Vibrant shades of green, pink and orange with splashes of metallic shades of silver, gold and bronze will be dominant in the collection.
