A Small Business Established in 2024

Hi, I’m Carmen, also known as Yaa. I welcome you to YaaDaase Boutique!

I was born on a Thursday in the D.C. Metro area, grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and now reside in Montclair, New Jersey. I’ve been fortunate enough to have been exposed to many different cultures from a very young age. The African diaspora that is Ghanaian culture has always been the closest to my heart.

As a humble, hard-working mom, it has always been my dream to share the beauty that is African fashion with all of us here in the states.

Women born on a Thursday in the Asante (Ashanti) tribe are lovingly named ‘Yaa’. One of the main languages spoken in Ghana is Twi. “Thank you” in Twi is “Medaase.” So, you see, I Thank You for helping bring my dreams to fruition!

America during the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s had a surge of Afro-influenced products and fashion. Then, it seemingly disappeared.

My goal is to bring a unique, new style - meets - authentic tradition back to the United States and right to your door. At YaaDaase Boutique, we offer select handmade, sustainably crafted, high quality apparel and skin care specially curated from Ghana, West Africa.
