Just ten years ago, black couples planning o get married were hard-pressed to find e resources they needed to help them create a unique ceremony that reflected their African heritage. There was little information in either books, magazines or online about what goes into an Afrocentric ceremony or where to hire African-inspired tailors and designers. Even Essence magazine, long the arbiter of contemporary style and culture that celebrates the African Diaspora, had very little information about black heritage wedding ceremonies.
