Fashion shows displaying vivid colours, trendy styles and socially conscious attire has captivated audiences over the years. Churches, community group events and fundraisers are often graced by the presence of the Afri-Caribe brand, gracefully worn by models representative of Africa, the Caribbean and North America. With her pulse on current affairs, Afri-Caribe lent its voice to the cries for racial equality that has been and is still resonating throughout North America. T-shirts with compelling messages aimed at empowering black people while raising awareness about daily injustices endured by this race were made available for purchase. Through this medium, Andrea joined the protest calling for change. So elite are her products, that you get to enter the House of Afri-Caribe by appointment only. Afri-Caribe ships internationally.
