What about African traditions? Are they still relevant to the younger generation? Afrimaxx took a look around:

Audrey Forson made history with her grandmother's table, which looks futuristic enough to furnish Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
 
Lasisi Olubunmi transforms traditional royal clothing into contemporary outfits that shine at Nigeria's most influential festivals.
