Marrakech: and a tale of my being featured on CNN African Voices
Dear friends,
I can't tell you how excited I am to be on CNN International for my design work! I feel so honored to have been selected as one of three designers in Africa to share my story and design inspirations on the show, African Voices. It was a real thrill! We shot at Peacock Pavilions and in the souks and new city of Marrakech. I so hope that you might find a moment to tune in. Here's the teaser that CNN International produced below. Many many thanks to the wonderful producer, Amanda Sealy (follow her on Instagram), talented cameraman, Peter Rudden, as well as to Executive Producer Elisa Berkowitz (follow her on Twitter). They were all fantastic.
Here's a little teaser below.
