Hi Anna, I saw a comment from you in the "Does the voting really count" discussion about success selling some of your higher ranking but not picked by Minted holiday cards on Zazzle. I had tried to put some products on Zazzle but was completely bamboozled by their system of uploading and trying to get them on the different products properly. Yikes. Do you have any tips for trying to navigate their site? I actually ended out cancelling my account with them due to utter frustration. Thank you so much for your help.

Laura Condouris on Jan 07 2020

Minted Sep 20, 2009

Ghana: so cool! So basically the epicenter of textile design, dyeing, and weaving! Some of my ancestors are from Ghana too, and perhaps Sierra Leone/Senegal /Gambia too, but I can't be sure exactly where: they were enslaved people who ended up in Dorchester County, Maryland, right near Harriet Tubman! I wish I could find out more, but so far in my research, I only have a few names. Clearly too big a topic for a Minted profile, but if you ever have the time or desire to tell me more about your experience in Ghana, I am forever interested in West African culture!

Minted Sep 20, 2009

Hi, Anna! Your designs are fantastic, and I think your art really lends itself well to textiles. Speaking of which, I noticed that you mentioned your West African heritage in your profile. So amazing textile design must be in your blood. Believe it or not, I have a bit of West African heritage, too! Do you know which countries your ancestors (and/or current relatives) are from?
