Ghanaian journalist, event organizer, and women’s rights advocate, Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum, captured the nation’s attention with her attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon. She sang for an impressive 126 hours and 52 minutes, surpassing the previous record held by India’s Sunil Waghmare since 2012.

The marathon began at midnight on Sunday, December 24, and concluded on the morning of Friday, December 29, 2023, at Akwaaba Village in Accra, Ghana. To celebrate Afua’s incredible achievement, the Ghana Tourism Authority, in collaboration with JoyPrime and EventsPro, organized a party called the “SING A-THON AFTERPARTY.”

Expressing her gratitude for the overwhelming support from Ghanaians, Afua emphasized that she undertook the Sing A-Thon for the benefit of Ghana, not for personal gain. Her mission was to promote Ghanaian music and showcase the country on a global scale. With confidence, Afua declared, “Ghanaian music is going to hit the world.”

On December 29th, the Ghana Tourism Authority officially appointed Afua as a Tourism Ambassador, recognizing her outstanding contribution to putting Ghana and its music on the global map. This special honor was bestowed upon her during the SING A-THON AFTERPARTY at Akwaaba Village in Accra, Ghana.

Kylie Jenner Launches Khy “After Dark,” a 16-Piece Winter Collection Inspired by L.A. Nights

Published

Kylie Jenner’s fashion label Khy has its winter moment. The brand launched “Khy After Dark,” a 16-piece eveningwear collection, worldwide on Tuesday (October 27), sold exclusively through the brand’s own web store at khy.com.

The capsule is built for the hours after sunset. Khy describes the drop as inspired by Los Angeles after hours — “a love letter to L.A. nights” — and Jenner echoed the theme in her launch post: “LA nights have always been such a big part of my inspiration and i loved bringing that feeling into this collection.” The lineup leans into moody, after-dark glamour: sculpted tailoring, plush faux fur, layered knitwear, oversized bombers and animal-print accents across coats, dresses, cardigans and tops. The standout piece is the floor-sweeping Marmont Sculpted Coat. The campaign, photographed by Quentin de Briey in the Los Angeles hills, puts Jenner herself in the collection’s statement outerwear against the city lights.

After Dark also underlines how Khy does business. Rather than running on traditional celebrity endorsements, the label operates through designer collaborations, partnering with creative founders and peer brands — including footwear label Gia Borghini and Francesca Aiello’s Frankies Bikinis — to merge their aesthetics with Jenner’s vision. The winter drop keeps up a rapid release cadence: earlier this year Khy expanded into warm-weather staples with the silk-and-jersey “Dear Summer, Love Khy” line, then returned to swim with Frankies Bikinis on their second collaborative capsule, “Fever Dream.”

The timing is deliberate. The launch caps a headline week for Jenner, who made her runway debut at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 18 wearing the $50 million Jacob & Co. diamond Fantasy Bra — and now channels that fashion spotlight straight into her own label. Khy After Dark is available now at khy.com.
