African-Modern Wear

Let me just start by saying that I absolutely love this piece! This modern-African dress is an absolute favorite of mine, and can be worn by anyone no matter where they come from. It is a tribal and ethnic gown with an eclectic modern twist made by a Kenyan local designer, and sent to me by my mother. I paired it with a beaded colorful Kenyan bracelet and modern, summer light brown open pumps that I had gotten from Target.

This photo-shoot was conducted on a hot day Summer of 2020, and I remember that I was rushing in order to also host a diversity Instagram live segment to discuss unconscious bias and how we can teach ourselves and children to resist it.

I was worried that the humidity would make my hair shrink before we captured the curls my friend Tish had worked hard on that morning. What made this day even more special is that it started to rain closer to the end of the photo-shoot and we were able to capture that. Scroll down to take a gander.
