At the corner of Buckeye and East 117th, Ego Adigwe runs Som Di Mma Elegance, a beautiful shop filled from floor to ceiling with clothing, jewelry and carvings from her home country of Nigeria, as well as from Senegal, Mali and India. 

She was kind enough to take a few minutes to share a little about her background with us ... and to demonstrate how she crafts hats right from her storefront.
