Ankara Skirt + Cropped Blazer

I have been late in joining the Ankara bandwagon and with good reason. I have never been a fun of the Kitenge fabric mostly because I associated it with elderly women and had been exposed to some very poorly tailored Ankara-esque clothes. So I steered clear of this trend until I came across some very youthful designs that made me make a 360 degree turn. I am in love with this trend. I even bought some fabric and embarked upon actually sewing some of those outfits I had been collecting. I don't trust tailors (have had some pretty nasty experiences), so with my mum's help, I made this Ankara A-line skirt. The origin of this skirt is a very long story. By the time I was done making it, I was not too happy but upon seeing the pictures, I have changed my mind.
I wore it to Church yesterday and paired it with my long neglected yellow vest and navy blue cropped blazer. I had intended to wear my nude wedges but at the last minute I gave in to laziness and opted for a pair of sequined canvas shoes (which I couldn't locate when I was taking these pics). To top it all off I DIYed an ankara headband.

What do you think of this skirt? I still have loads of fabric left so stay tuned for my next project.

Ankara skirt: DIY
Cropped Blazer: Thrifted (Gikomba)
Yellow Vest: New Delhi, India

A labour of love: Long days, bee stings and a global premiere

“Amkeni” roughly translates to “Rise Up” in Kiswahili. This is the call of Chambuko Amkeni, a community-led conservation group involved in mangrove restoration and protection. In 2025, I had the honour of working with them to document their journey on women’s leadership in coastal and marine conservation, climate change adaptation and the blue economy, for a collaboration between Mission inclusion and the BBC StoryWorks' for the Living Legacy Series . This was my first time working on a project of this magnitude not to mention one that would have a global audience. To say this has been one of the highlights of the last two years is an understatement. Just thinking about it, my heart swells with pride. I feel like a mother watching her baby grow and come of age (please don't tell my daughter this!). With members of the Chambuko Amkeni Group Leading the production of Amkeni with my amazing colleagues was a true labour of love. A vision come to life thanks to the support o...

Rediscovering myself

A few blog posts ago I alluded to struggles I'd been facing for a few years now. I said that I would address these issues here soon but honestly, I didn't know when would be a good time. So I thought that today is as good a day as any. Last year I was diagnosed with trauma. It had been years in the making, a result of an emotionally abusive relationship and years of challenging events with seemingly no respite in sight. Although I had eventually gotten out of the relationship, I had unconsciously allowed this person's opinions of me become so ingrained in me that I had lost all knowledge of my former self. I lacked self-confidence. I blamed myself for many things that had happened in my life. I was perpetually sad and struggled to find even the smallest things to smile about. I had no motivation to do even those things that I loved. I would take photos and see my smiling face but deep down I knew that was just a front. I was broken, a shell of my former self. Now I'm no...

Blogging Challenge Day 13 | 5 Ways I Learned To Be Happy (No Matter The Circumstances)

Like everybody else, I began this year on a very positive note. I hoped for a better year than I had had in 2017. I had a plan that I laid out and I was determined to accomplish a lot of what was on my 2018 list. I once heard someone say that sometimes you plan and it doesn't work out not because you haven't put in enough effort but because God has other plans for you. So the first three months of 2018 were completely upside down for me. Everything seemed to be going wrong. I won't lie to you and tell you that I carried on happy in spite of everything that wasn't working. I struggled to smile, to wake up in the morning, to face my day, to be around people. However, I was determined to find lasting happiness. I wanted to find a way that would ensure that I remained happy even when life seemed to be going against me. I did my research and tried out a few things and found the 5 ways listed below that I have now been putting into practice for the last four or so month...
