The game of basketball brings us all together. The atmosphere, competition, and stories impact our lives in a huge way. ‘Jump Ball’ aims to highlight the blend between basketball and cultures across the African Diaspora.

The Kente cloth is a world-renowned source of pride for many Ghanaians. Kente is typically made from cotton and silk, with various colours and designs that carry significant meanings that reflect traditional Ghanaian values.
