Diana Dahlia PR, a prominent name and an accredited member of the British Fashion Council, as well as an official London Fashion Week partner 2023, has honored the CEO of the Owl Newspaper Alhaji Dauda Musa Bangura, with an invitation to grace this year’s London Fashion Week set to take place in September 2023.
The main highlight of this year’s London Fashion Week is Diana Dahlia PR’s ‘Unity In Diversity’ theme, reflecting the essence of fashion’s ability to embrace cultural differences.
With the Sierra Leonean culture being the center of this year’s London Fashion Week, former SLFA president Madam Isha Johansen, has been the pioneer and key facilitator in bringing Sierra Leone to the International stage at the ‘All Things Fashion – Fashionista Event’.
Madam Isha Johansen has been working tirelessly over the years to give every Sierra Leonean, most especially women an equal chance to contribute to the development of society; whether through sports, arts, culture or entertainment, her positive steps have paved the way for Sierra Leone to be recognised at the international level in terms of arts and culture.
Following the patriotic and humanitarian blueprints of Madam Isha Johansen, the Owl CEO and former IMC commissioner Alhaji Dauda Musa Bangura has also been regarded as the key Sierra Leone Brand promoter for this event. He is a man of great valor and his effort and positive support towards the “Football for Reform Initiative” that supports gender empowerment and rehabilitation of young women at the Sierra Leone’s Women Correctional Center, through Football and Fashion has been applauded by many, including the London Fashion week 2023 partners.
The Owl CEO has been working tirelessly in a steadfast manner with Madam Isha Johansen, to support incarcerated women so that they would not be left out and that they could find themselves and contribute to society.
It’s also worth noting that due to the robust support of Madam Isha and the Owl CEO, the talented fashion designs and accessories created by ladies at the Sierra Leone’s Women Correctional Center will be on display and on the runway show at the London Fashion Week on the 16th September 2023, as this is a great opportunity for the Fashion world to recognise the skills and talents of the incarcerated women at the Sierra Leone’s Women Correctional Center.
The Owl CEO and publisher will share platform with other global media personalities at the event.
The event promises an array of talented fashion designers and accessories, these aspiring fashionistas have not only found a way to express their creativity but also rehabilitate themselves through football and fashion.
Diana Dahlia PR’s founder and CEO, Diana Dahlia herself, expressed her pleasure in extending the invitation to Mr. Bangura, recognizing his unwavering support for the Football For Reform Initiative.
Mr. Bangura’s presence at the event signifies the global impact of initiatives that unite diverse cultures and promote social change through fashion. His dedication to supporting women and girls in Sierra Leone has not gone unnoticed, and this invitation serves as a testament to the positive influence that can be wielded by those committed to change.
