Tignon Collection — The Moussor (Senegal) Journal

This hardcover journal features an AI-generated image from The Tignon Collection — a series honoring the six African headwrap styles that free Black women in 1786 New Orleans transformed from an instrument of oppression into a crown of defiance.

The Moussor is the original. A traditional headwrap of the Wolof and Serer people of Senegal — worn for centuries on the continent as a daily expression of identity, spiritual grounding, and feminine power. Wrapped in deep indigo and white — the colors of dignity and ancestral connection in Senegalese tradition — the Moussor is simple in its construction and absolute in its meaning.

When it crossed the Atlantic in the hands and memory of enslaved African women it did not become something new. It remained exactly what it had always been. A declaration of who she was. Where she came from. What no ocean and no law could ever take from her.

Every woman who wrapped a tignon in New Orleans carried this memory — whether she knew its name or not. The Moussor is the root. Everything else grew from here.

Perfect for journaling, sketching, note-taking, or as a meaningful gift for anyone who carries their history with pride.
