Great Fun at the 5th edition of the African Culture and Wellness Festival.  This historical event will take place January 30th to February 11th, 2019. 

The “African Culture and Wellness Festival” a.k.a. ACAWF was created by Dr. Sharita Yazid,  Naturopath, New Body Products Ghana Chief Operating Officer and a repatriate to Africa. A group of natural healers, master African dance/drum instructors and fitness experts were consulted to help create a festival that would deliver a sound platform for years to come. ACAWF has taken the lead to educate, empower, and heal Africans on the continent and the Diasporas through culture and well-being.  

This year’s theme for ACAWF 2019 is “Our Land Our Sovereignty”, which is in perfect alignment with our endorsement from Ghana’s 2019 “Year of Return” for Africans in the diaspora.
