Hello, my name is Chefiatou Falana and I am the creator of Ke'efa. I am originally from Togo, West Africa but currently living in the US with my 7 year old daughter, Kekeli. 

Growing up in Togo, I was always fascinated by fashion. Unfortunately, when I came to the US, this dream died because reality kicked in. I became a single mother at the age of 25. I had to sacrifice everything to invest in my child. My pregnancy moment till child birth, was the most heartbreaking moment because of the mental and emotional challenges I had been through. 

As a single mother, finding the right words to answer the "whys" is always challenging. I have prayed for this cycle to stop in my bloodline, given that I was raised by my mother who was a single mother, and so was my grandmother and her mother. 

Single parenting is the most challenging thing ever. It may lead to put whatever dream one has on hold until he/she finds serenity and clarity. 

However, my life journey as a single mother was my source of inspiration to create my clothing line Ke'efa to support other single mothers thriving to fulfill their purpose here on earth. Through the support system in my community, I was able to achieve some goals I have set on this Parenthood journey. 

I hope my story will encourage other single parents out there not to give up on their dreams, and to find the right support.
