SS Presents: JUMP BALL 🌍🏀💫 GHANA (Gold Coast) 🇬🇭 Featuring Philemon (@philgyamfi16) + Jeremy (@_jeremyaibi)

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.

This is a Sunday School Production.
