    • "The Ancestral Face is embodied with Cowrie shells which tends to send unmistakable vibes of Black culture and for good reason. The small shells have a long and intriguing history in Africa and for the Black community in general.

      The Cowrie shell in its immaculate beauty is more than a fashion statement. In traditional African culture, the small humped, ovate shells hold significant spiritual and even monetary value. Wearing cowries is more than a fashion trend. It has far-reaching implications that hold cultural meaning. This is the essence of the U.K. Black History month.

      Its influence also spread to China. There it was a form of currency so much that the Chinese used its shape to form their pictograph for money. Wherever the cowrie shells are found, they almost always symbolize wealth and fertility. 

      Spiritual meaning. In African legend, a love of cowrie shells shows that you could be family to an ocean spirit of wealth and earth. It also represents the Goddess of protection in the ocean. In Africa, and in the Americas, the cowrie symbolized destiny and prosperity. Also thought of as the mouth of Orisha. Believed to have taught stories of humility and respect.

      The underlying point is that Black culture is beautiful and it should be celebrated.

    • Harry's proclamation of the beauty of black culture is one many of us will resonate with, a striking image which speaks volumes.
