In a world of fleeting trends, Joyce Akumaa Dongotey-Padi, popularly known as Akumaa Mama Zimbi, stands tall — quite literally with a headscarf that defies convention and commands attention.
For over two decades, the veteran media personality has wrapped herself in yards of meaning, turning fabric into a statement of identity, pride, and power.
Her signature headgear, often crafted from eight to twenty yards of cloth, is more than a fashion choice — it’s a cultural crown.
“Sometimes I go all out and wear 12 yards,” she shared with a smile during a recent interview.
Akumaa said the headgear’s base is often rich purple, layered with vibrant African prints that reflect her bold spirit and deep connection to tradition.
Whether she is hosting on Adom TV or mentoring young women through her foundation (Mama Zimbi Foundation), Akumaa Mama Zimbi’s looks remain unmistakable.
Her ‘duku’ is not just wrapped — it is woven with purpose.
Her style is a reminder that, to wear culture is to wear confidence.
