• •Use Evocative & Sensory Language: Employ words that highlight the richness of colors, textures, and the cultural significance of the items. Words like "vibrant," "handcrafted," "heritage," "authentic," "unique," and "soulful" align with the brand.
• •Maintain a Respectful & Celebratory Voice: Always speak about African culture with reverence and joy. Avoid appropriation and focus on genuine appreciation and connection.
• •Be Inclusive & Empowering: Craft messages that make everyone feel welcome to explore and celebrate African heritage, regardless of their background, while empowering those with African roots to connect with their identity.
• •Develop a Brand Lexicon: Create a list of on-brand keywords and phrases (e.g., "connect to your roots," "unique designs," "African artisans," "cultural heritage") and consistently use them across all communication channels. Review content regularly to ensure adherence.
