About Mpanko

Our story

Mpanko is the umbrella that brings together everything Teefa Fuseini builds. It is a group of businesses, a shop for African-made goods and a set of community commitments, all under one name and one set of values.

The story took shape in 2020, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, when Teefa founded QT Eatery to serve authentic African cuisine. Her work has grown with the people she serves. It now includes events and 360 photo booth rentals, Rabsana Designz for clothing that carries African heritage, QT Make-Up Artistry, and insurance guidance for individuals and families through World Financial Group. Alongside the businesses sits QT Foundation, which supports women and vulnerable children, and her role as Magazia (Queen Mother), a traditional leadership title rooted in the Dagomba heritage of Northern Ghana.

Mpanko is where these pieces meet. It is rooted in Northern Ghana and led from Massachusetts, USA, and it stands for a simple promise: lead with integrity, preserve heritage and empower the communities we belong to.

  • Vision

    To carry African heritage, food and enterprise from Northern Ghana to the world, and to keep it proud and alive.

  • Mission

    To serve with excellence through food, fashion, events, beauty and guidance, and to support women and vulnerable children through QT Foundation.

  • Approach

    Lead with integrity. Every business starts by listening to the people it serves, and every order, event and service is treated as a promise.
