Hawa Who is proving that creativity knows no boundaries. As an author and entrepreneur, she is seamlessly blending two artistic worlds—literature and fashion—into a brand that speaks to individuality, culture, and emotional depth. Through her poetic storytelling and luxury-inspired fashion, she is reshaping what it means to be a modern creator, using multiple mediums to inspire and empower.
Her journey began with words. With the release of Petals of My Heart, Hawa introduced readers to her deeply personal writing, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. The book struck a chord with audiences looking for raw, unfiltered emotion, solidifying her place as a storyteller who writes from the heart. But for Hawa, storytelling was never confined to the written word—it was a form of self-expression that extended into every aspect of her life.
That same passion for storytelling is now evident in her latest venture: Hawa Who Shop. Launched as an extension of her creative vision, the clothing brand embodies effortless luxury with an edge, merging Casablanca and Pucci-inspired aesthetics with urban influences. Each piece is designed to make a statement, much like her writing—bold, expressive, and deeply intentional. “I want my work to resonate with people on a personal level. Whether they read my book or wear my designs, they should feel seen,” Hawa explains.
Fashion, much like literature, tells a story. Every collection at Hawa Who Shop is designed with a narrative in mind, reflecting themes of identity, resilience, and self-confidence. The brand is not just about clothing—it is an artistic movement. It challenges conventional fashion norms by blending classic sophistication with a nonchalant, streetwear-inspired attitude. This unique approach has quickly positioned Hawa Who Shop as a brand to watch in the fashion industry.
Hawa’s ability to navigate both industries has been shaped by her own diverse experiences. As a model, she has worked with some of the biggest names in fashion, including Zara, Vogue, and Harper’s Bazaar, gaining an insider’s perspective on the world of style. These experiences have informed her approach to fashion design, giving her a keen understanding of how clothing can serve as a powerful form of self-expression.
But beyond her artistic achievements, Hawa’s story is one of resilience. She built her career from the ground up, self-publishing her first book and launching a fashion brand independently. As a Ghanaian and Hausa creative, she brings cultural depth to her work, weaving elements of her heritage into both her writing and her designs. Her journey is a testament to the power of following one’s passions and breaking barriers.
With a second book on the way and her clothing brand gaining momentum, Hawa’s influence is only growing. She is not just a designer or an author—she is a cultural storyteller, using fashion and literature to create meaningful, lasting impact. As she continues to expand her creative empire, one thing remains at the core of everything she does: authenticity.
