Please! Is there a way i can get the young lady's details. Ive just recently purchased land in Sierra Leone and i want to creat a home completely different from the norm and ive research this for past 2 years but cant find anyone here in SL to assist or understands my vision
When she said, I’d rather live here rather than go somewhere else where everyone will look down on me and see me as a piece of trash. That resonated with me as an African American.
This home is absolutely gorgeous and the owner has impeccable taste. I can’t believe such a structure can be erected for 45k and using all local materials. Hopefully, this will serve as a demonstration model for future development of housing sub-divisions. Seems so eco-friendly and a great generator of local craft and employment. As the owner said “ it’s a win, win.
@Dancing Diva How much would it cost in US Dollars to build a simple structure of the same SIZE in Ghana🇬🇭? [Obviously the beauty would not be comparable though!]
Her mind is sharp because she thinks on a level of creativity that allows her brain to express itself in abstract ways. In other words she’s bringing her imagination to the physical realm. Blessed woman. 💙
Absolutely stunning just perfection her home is a work of art. I love how warm it is. I wish I had 10% of this queens creativity. She's a true diamond. And yes I would totally build a house with this gorgeous meterial. I wonder if its long lasting though and fire safety. But otherwise my god its just perfect
Wow, what a beautiful surprise to see my parents friend being Interviewed. She designed furniture for my parents home in the 70's. She's definitely very creative and an amazing cook. Thank you for featuring her. Last time I saw her was about 10 years ago when I was visiting Ghana.
I'd love to learn how to build with Raffia. I'd never heard nor seen it before. I'm building a small house now. It's with timber, but Raffia would be nice to experiment. Great Video!!!
I would definitely live in a home like this. Its so beautiful and made from natural resources. I love her creativity and style. I would trust her to design and build my home.
This is the direction home building should follow in Africa! Gorgeous! Can not wait to see the whole home tour! And btw I love that you switched up the interview format ( deleting the questions and just leaving in the answers ). The music sets the mood, great production Vanessa!
I beg to differ concerning the interview format: it was quite monotonous (she spoke non-stop ) I would alternate with Vanessa's voice with the answers of the interviewee, lettering, or the classic Q/A. Apart from that, great content, top editing.
Vanessa I can say that you are listening to your subscribers. I can't believe how quickly you came up with this video after my complaints about lack of architecturally designed/sustainable homes in Ghana/West Africa. That's amazing and that is why I like your content, you seem to take the constructive criticism, I can't wait to indulge in this video. At this rate, you will be at 100K in no time.
In a time when we are trying to protect the environment, she inspires me. I hope building with raffia palm provides an alternative to building homes sustainably. Great interview. Thanks.
Absolutely delightful. This is sophisticated and timeless. I would definitely consider a raffia home. Help the community, source the material naturally in Ghana, cost effective and sturdy. Yes. Really enjoyed this presentation Vanessa.
Is it not the other way round? The community helps you source the material. The community knows and has been sourcing the material for a very long time.
This is one of the most beautiful natural homes I have ever seen. I have never saw another video anywhere else about using this type of material to build a home. Thank you for exposing us to such beauty and imagination.
Goodness gracious!!! This is melanated genius. Would love to see a tour, also hearing about the sturdiness, repair ability, sealing and protection from elements, etc of the local material.
This is NOT your typical 'grandmother's ' house. Beautifully designed, and chic. She built an entire home out of this material when I only envisioned an accent wall and ceilings. 😁
Finally, a truly beautiful interior! What a beautiful lady! I would prefer a raffia home than the concrete blocks. I would wonder how well they hold up, and the maintenance.
Hi Vanessa could you do a video on someone whose traveling to Ghana over the new year for 2 weeks and wants to explore the city without night life being on the itinerary? Not much of a clubber here thanks
She came from a generation where they went to West to acquire knowledge to return home and make it great, not to live abroad indefinitely, perhaps thats why.
First it’s Akiwumi and not Akiwome! Yes she has lived and traveled across the globe not just in the west but as far away as Papua New Guniea and South America, the Caribbean and beyond.
Lovely lady. Very creative home. We turn our hand to so many thinks, that's a blessing. 57years married, that is beautiful. My grand-parents were the same. It's a rarety to hear these days. Can wait to get married, pray God blesses me with someone very decent and we last a lifetime. It is ordained by the Most High. God Bless you Ophelia. Peace
@@PatriciaAbijah hence going forward, the new breed of Africans should be innovative in creating inspirational homes in AFRICA by sourcing ecofriendly and sustainable natural building materials like Bamboo and Raffia which are available in abundance in our Motherland, we need to step out of conventional building practices, a tip for African Architects with entrepreneurial spirit.✊🏾
@@EstherAivinhenyi Smart wits and unity will keep outsiders from profiting off of such beautiful ecofriendly resources, right their own back yard! What a venture!!
I have been here in Ghana for 3 months now. I came to start an Industrial Hemp project and live. I planned to build a home from hemp until I viewed your store. I would love to build a house from Rafia and decorate with hemp fabrics and hemp alternatives to plastic. This is so exciting.
Wow. An absolutely beautiful home. What an amazing woman. Educated. Well traveled, articulate, creative and talented. I hope others will really follow her example since the raffia is readily available and cheap.
Please subscribe and press the bell to be notified for part 2 where I will do a full house tour of Ophelia's experimental house. Feel free to write any questions you have under this comment and I will ask as many as possible. Thanks again for all your support!
Awesome!! Please ask her questions about architecture/ design in Ghana and West Africa. Ask her what she thinks of the current state, if there are any improvements that need to be made and how to fill that talent gap. Also ask her about sustainable residential buildings and cost/affordability. She also mentioned opening a trades school...that’s amazing ask her what the challenges are and how she is intending to convince Ghanians that working with your hands can be just as lucrative as a desk job. Also being a Creative and designer, what does she thinks is the final frontier in African/Ghanaian designers and what can be done to gain more respect an for Africans to develop their own eye for design that isn’t just imitation of Western design.
Also curious to know more about her and her journey and how Ghana has changed from then to now and what she thinks of young people of diaspora and local youth wanting to stay in Africa particularly in her field of design and how can design contribute to Ghana’s/west Africa’s development.
God bless you! You are blessed with an incredible gift of creativity. You know who you are and Ghana is blessed to have you! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! This house is amazing!!!
What a beautiful video. Sister Ophelia is fantastic, as is her story, her outlook and her home. And you captured that wonderfully. It's rare to see a TH-camr remove themselves from the narrative, and allow true natural beauty to unfold into their camera. Well done Vanessa!
Yes Vanessa I would very much consider building a home using raffia palm. Ophelia's stunning home speaks volumes to me and thank you for posting this video; I'm going to watch it over and over every chance I get because I am just in awe of Ophelia's interior style and taste - she is very talented. Thank you again Vanessa.
This is beautiful. I love 💕 her energy. I’m sold on this. I wonder how the material is near the ocean/beaches? I’m definitely reaching out to get more details. Vanessa you have the best creative content. Thank You 🙏🏾
This beautiful lady is such an inspired artist and philanthropist, it was such a treat listening to her. The course that she is planning for furniture making and other crafts sounds so incredible and I for one would love to do it as well as see Ghana at the same time , please keep us updated on the course , is there a Facebook contact?
Ms. Ophelia Akiwomi radiates style! Breathtaking creativity. I am in awe at the use of color, contrast and texture. I am especially inspired by the comments" It is not perfect but at least, it is mine and here I know who I am" just profound words.
Your cinematography has improved every single video. I am truly amazed. Improvement, improvement, improvement. And this woman and her house are phenomenal!
I Have to Say......I've watched and seen a few of your videos and have been Really INTRIGUED to say the least. This HOME is the BEST BY FAR!!!! I was born in America in Texas and have lived in Georgia as well, but ......I'm REALLY taking a look at wanting to move to another country. Africa is one of those on my list. I Totally agree with Ophelia about living in another country like the US that doesn't appreciate us African-Americans, pays us literally nothing and treats us less than the human beings that we are. It's been OVERDUE for us to look at other alternatives than living here in the US. I TRULY APPRECIATE Ophelia bringing her idea to fruition so that others like myself can enjoy and appreciate what she wanted others to see as possible. IT'S TRULY INSPIRING. THank You Ophelia.
What an innovator and a visionary! I’m loving the taste, environmental benefits and the emphasis on harnessing local resources & people. I’d definitely live in a raffia palm home!
That house is so beautifull! Every piece of furniture and how all the pieces work together. So aesthetically pleaseing... Must be amazing to live there...
I love this so much! What an inspiration. ...Everything that she says about living in countries that do not appreciate what you have to offer resonates with me....I would definitely live in a rafia house. Sustainability is the future. This amazing woman is ahead of her time.
It’s not her home. It is an experimental test house, but I promise you that you’ll love her home which is a lot more special, as well as all the others she has designed.
This is the authentic African videos we want to see - not just aping Western ideas. I've watched your videos for over a year. This video finally made me subscribe to you. More videos like this please - this (and your video about the organics health farmers in Ghana) are by far, your best videos by far. I think you're headed in the right direction.! Can we find out more about this building? Are there any links etc. that you can share?
Hi Vanessa could you do a video on someone whose traveling to Accra alone over Christmas /new year for 2 weeks and wants to explore the city without night life being on the itinerary? Not much of a clubber here thanks
Go cousin Ophelia, love you lots and miss you so much. You're a genius and I remember the shoes and clothes you created for Nymphet boutique and selling them at the Loom. I loved them. I'll love you to build one of these houses for me one day. Love you lots xx

No day passes without me feeling bad about leadership in africa. The look down on us Africans and African Americans is because of this.
Same here!
Same. We are the only group who didn't want to be here in America. To this bias experiment called America.
Not going to lie if Africa had the accommodations of America i wouldn't be here.
Exactly, Ghana is a magical place of acceptance.

You just described the African woman in a nutshell...
Her mind is sharp because she thinks on a level of creativity that allows her brain to express itself in abstract ways. In other words she’s bringing her imagination to the physical realm. Blessed woman. 💙
I like this because some documentaries on Africa give the same backward, poverty, racist points of view. This beautiful Black woman is off the chain!
True

I think the home is beautiful. I would definitely consider having one built. Thanks for presenting Ophelia Akiwome to us.
Me too. Building and buying a home has become unaffordable anywhere close to Accra. This is a good option. Thanks 💞
Very interesting life story of this amazing woman. Her house looks soooo nice and very unique.
Whoever thumb down this amazing testimony and astonishing work must be from another planet.
