About

One suitcase contained all that she owned.
She boarded a ship on the promise of a better quality of life. She was met with prejudice, discrimination, hardship and injustice. She responded with tenacity, determination, courage and grace. She MADE a life for herself. She promised US a better future.
She was a woman of power.

 At Raka & Jack, we are PROUD of who we are and celebrate where we come from.

However, It wasn't an easy journey to get here. When we were younger, societal ideals perpetuated by the media and peer pressure meant we tried to fit in and conform to the ‘ideal’ portrayal of beauty, especially when it came to our hair.

Over time we recognised how sumptuous our natural hair is. We embraced our genes, became confident in who we truly are and matured into content, strong and driven women.

We are women of power. It’s time to celebrate. We are ready. Are you?

Raka & Jack create bold accessories that take inspiration from our heritage and enable women of power to proudly display their cultural identity vibrantly and expressively.
