Why Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings tied cloth around waist
In many cultures, a grieving daughter tying a cloth around her waist at a public event holds significant meaning.
In Uganda, among the Buganda Tribe, a daughter of the deceased ties a cloth or robe to her black outfit to distinguish herself from other mourners.
This gesture is a form of expressing sorrow and is often accompanied by walking barefoot in the community.
In traditional Chinese culture, during mourning, sons and daughters-in-law would wear coarse white cloth robes with a hemp rope tied around the waist.
The robes were often left unsewn at the bottom as part of the mourning tradition.
In the Bakossi culture of Cameroon, tying a modest fabric or wrapping it around the waist is a way of dressing down, setting aside vanity to focus on shared grief and memories as a silent language of respect.

Amina Agyeman-Rawlings, one of the three daughters of the late Jerry John Rawlings and Nana Konadu, stayed out of the spotlight when the family visited Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at the Manhyia Palace.
The petroleum law expert, reminiscent of her late mother’s signature style, wore a short-sleeved belted peplum top paired with a long skirt.
She looked striking with her natural hairstyle, allowing her face to be seen without makeup, and completed her look with a black leather bag with brown straps.
