Sadia Sanusi biography, age, death
Sadia Sanusi was a Ghanaian fashion designer and entrepreneur celebrated for elevating contemporary bridal and occasion wear with rich kente and wax-print traditions.
She was born in Accra to a mother who was also a fashion designer, and she grew up observing her working with her apprentices, picking up her skills from a very young age, as she told Citinewsroom in an interview.
“I still have fond memories of watching my mother sew. It was quite a chaotic setting, with bundles of cloth everywhere and customers always on the move. She was that good. Whenever I came back from school, I would sneak in there, curiously observing, eager to be a part of it all," she said.
Sanusi attended the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology between September 2012 and June 2016, according to her LinkedIn profile. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Design and soon after, launched Sadia Sanusi, her eponymous fashion brand.
Her talent soon launched her into prominence, earning her national prominence, especially after a stint on Miss Malaika, where she finished as the 2nd Runner-Up in 2012. Sanusi's exact age is not really known, but she was believed to be in her early to mid 30s.
In the days before her death, the fashion queen was heavily promoting her kente artistry masterclass, which was scheduled for June 22-26 and timed to coincide with her tenth anniversary as a brand. A video of her promoting the program has since gone viral after her death.
"I am celebrating my 10th anniversary and I want to share my knowledge and I want to share my knowledge and my experiences through this masterclass. I urge you all to join because this class is going to be an unforgettable one," she said.
