Our brand is rooted in joy and community, the same things that form the foundation of culture. Under this philosophy, we view all of our customers as members of the Nganoh family.

Nganoh aspires to deliver breathtaking style and renewed confidence to our patrons while passionately promoting equality, inclusion, and respect for all. When culture, art, and people are both seen and valued, the global community flourishes – and this is where our brand’s most cherished hopes and greatest dreams lie. We believe that collective growth is the only way to make this happen, which is why the beauty of diversity is so important to us.
Adorned in our sensational, modern garb, one is enveloped in the spirit of Africa and ignited by the freedom of the soaring Rocky Mountains. Nganoh brings a level of strength and pride that demands we uncover the fire within us and allow it to shine bright. For when we do, the whole world becomes illuminated.

Founder
I am Kadia Soulemane, the passionate visionary behind Nganoh. I am originally from Senegal, a West African nation, where I lived until I was fifteen-years-old. That’s when my family relocated to Colorado’s gorgeous Vail Valley in the breathtaking Rocky Mountains. Although I am madly in love with this place that I now call home, I carry in my heart the enchantment, passion, vitality, and communal spirit of Africa every day.
The culture and tradition that saturate African art inspire me – especially in fashion. When dressed in these joys and comforts, I feel swaddled in community and love. To express what lies at the center of my heart through my clothing is an art form that truly sparks my creativity. I launched this brand to share with others this blissful part of my identity.
“Nganoh” was the nickname bestowed upon my beloved Great-Grandmother, a remarkable character who fully and genuinely embodied the spirit of Africa. She was a warm, vibrant, and uplifting woman who spread unconditional love to all she encountered, making them feel as though they, too, were a member of her family. I aim to achieve the same effect with my culture-rich apparel, spreading elation, individuality, and togetherness through luxury African fashion. In this way, I hope to keep Nganoh’s spirit and legacy alive, one infused with my homeland’s earnest, age-old messages.
