About Nuabaa Fie

Nuabaa Fie was born from a desire to center the lives, histories, and aesthetic intelligence of Black women.

In a world that profits from our disembodiment and reduces our value to labor and service, Black women are continually positioned as outsiders to conversations surrounding beauty, art, and style even as our innovation shapes culture at every level.

Nuabaa Fie is interested in what becomes possible when Black women exist as the artists, authors, philosophers, and makers of these worlds unapologetically. It is a space for beauty, memory, mysticism, adornment, thought, and self-definition. A space where Black women (present & future) encounter themselves outside of distortion and imagine lives and spur our capabilities beyond the mainstream.

With the extension of Sika’s Closet, my hope is to share my personal approach to style through vintage and secondhand pieces that speak to the many possibilities of womanhood available to us. Pieces that remind me of the women who have shaped my life — aunties, mothers, friends, lovers, elders, younger & future selves. My intention is to spark the feeling of finding something in your older sister’s closet that alters and expands your understanding of what’s possible for you.

In this way, Nuabaa Fie becomes what its name translates to in my mother tongue, Twi: a Sister House.
