Women Chit Chatting about Fashion! Last week Tuesday, I had a discussion with Ndelwa about fashion! We decided to take some pictures walking down the street. It was a raining day but we made it work . We talked about our different styles and inspirations. To me fashion is definitely therapeutic. Anyone would agree with me that , whatever we are passionate about would come out successful. Minnafropolis plans to make a double FF statement that stand for Food and Fashion. More visuals are coming in the future posts. Outfit Wearing a Line By Line Pant Set from fashion nova. Love Tree Denim Jacket She plans to show more fashion looks on her…

Bonnet Talk : Having Grounded Friends
Friendship in the age of social media has created some misconception between real friends versus online friends. Life experiences have taught me always to keep a tight circle. I love the idea of being your sister keeper and brother keeper. What should I be looking for in a friend? Ask yourself this question . Do we even ask this question anymore? Grounded friendship is set on people that willing to uplift you (me). Friendship is a two-way street. God-fearing friends are vital. These do not mean practicing a religious ritual. But people that understand the value of loving one’s neighbor and as his/her self. It is wise to have elderly…

Modern Feminist : The Future is Female !
Growing up, I always questioned everything especially odd practices that were not favorable towards women. Well everyone did not like me for that because in most Africa cultures/communities (Or including most African homes abroad) women are taught to stay mute. Till this day! Last year I asked my parents about my roots because I wanted to know more about my ancestors. Let us just say it was concise and brief. But I wanted more information. Then I wondered about the behavior of our foremothers and what they did during their times. I learned that my grandmother was a “warrior”; she stood for the truth and injustices her community. Although because…

The Light in Singleness
This Bonnet Talk was inspired by the women around me and their experiences. I thank you all for sharing your experiences with me . Let dive right in Singleness is something that is not appreciated in our society today. The pressure from social media and parents make it more challenging to value ourselves. I had an encounter with a dear friend that has been married several times. And now she about to embark on a new celebration with her “new spouse” this summer. Even though, I tried to explain to her why she needs time to get herself WHOLE again. She has a firm belief that a man would get…

Waist Bags, Fanny Packs & Belt Bags : 2018 Fashion Trend !

So no unnecessary items, you carry what you really need ! lLol!!!! It’s funny because when I was young girl , I actually did not like fanny packs (or whatever you call it now ). Well , OLD fashion is now on a repeated cycle. Designers are going back to old styles from the 80’s and 90’s , to re-invest new trends. Do you think designers have lost their creativity? Or is…
