LUBANGA LEE RICHARD is a visual artist who deals in drawing, painting, sculpture and illustrations. I graduated with a diploma from Michelangelo College of Creative Arts and Design and i am currently persuing a bachelors degree in industrial art and design from Kyambogo University. I am very passionate artist and self motivated.
Welcome to the world of Grand Manguier — a boutique of impactful, powerful, and inspiring illustrations created to highlight the heritage and richness of Black culture. Each piece is conceived as a tribute: to the iconic figures of the diaspora, to Black beauty in all its diversity, and to the deep roots that connect us. Our illustrations are available in various formats and media (posters, art prints, everyday objects) to transform your spaces into places of remembrance and pride.

Our Story
Sokofa was born from a simple dream — to bring the richness of Africa's creativity and craftsmanship to the world through honest, beautiful African imports.
The idea first took root with Tope Abuloye, an entrepreneur driven by a deep love for business and African culture. His first venture, BuyAvrika, spotlighted African art and revealed the incredible talent across the continent — and the challenges many creators faced in accessing global markets.
When life took Tope to Edinburgh for further studies, his vision sharpened. Distance gave him a fresh appreciation for the textures, colours, and soul of Africa.
“Sokofa became that bridge — a way to shop African imports directly from local creators, and to celebrate the stories, spirit, and skill woven into every product.”— Tope Abuloye, Founder
