...With love from Congo

Bonjour!

The last 3 weeks have been very hectic for me, I am still looking forward to when to getting some sleep. As I was thinking of what to blog, I was going through my pictures at the same time and realised I have pictures from Congo I would love to share with you. Pictures of my time in Congo Brazzaville.

Les 3 dernières semaines ont été très occupées pour moi, je suis impatiente a trouver un peu de temps pour dormir. Reflechissans sur quoi poster sur le blog, je me suis rendu compte que j'ai certaines phtos de mon voyage au Congo Brazzaville et j'aimerais les partager avec vous. 

Arriving in Congo

Bonjour!! 

I have been in Congo for the next 2 days now and with very little time to put up a blog post. I  Would like to pop in and say Hi as I prepare to show you the greatest places in Congo.

Je suis au Congo déjas 2  et avec peu de temps pour blogguer, J'aimerais vous faire un coucou comme la Je me prepare a vous montrer Les endroits les plus cool du Congo. 

HELLO CONGO! CHIAO KENYA!

Bonjour!

I am very excited about this trip home and can't wait to tell you about blogging plans we have. Yes "we". I and the most talented creatives I know. So; I just found out I am days away from smelling motherland's air. Yes. I AM GOING TO CONGO!

Last time I was home was october last year. 2015 and 2016 have just been full of trips and overload of work, lack of relationships and going on very few dates. I secretly wish for this to continue until 2017, no dating and just working as I discover myself. 

Je suis très contente de ce voyage pour chez moi et j'ai hâte de vous annoncer les plans que nous avons pour ce blog. "Oui nous". Moi et d'autres talents que j'ai l'honneur de connaitre. Donc; Je viens de découvrir que j'ai que quelque jours avant de sentir l'air de la terre-mère. Oui. JE VAIS CONGO!

La dernière fois que j'étais au pays c'était en octobre l'année dernière. 2015 et 2016 on été pleine de voyages et de surcharge de travail, manque de relations et très peu de drague. Je souhaite secrètement que ça continue jusqu'en 2017, aucune relation simplement travailler et me découvrir.

COSTUME ASSISTANT FOR AFRICAN GAMES 2015

COSTUME ASSISTANT FOR AFRICAN GAMES 2015

Words can not explain how amazing this experience has been. Watching the fireworks go up and one of my bestest friend; actor, comedian and producer Audifax Mompossa; the man of the ceremony do such a great job; even prouder to know; I sew the scarf on his jacket, the african beads on his tradditional coat, lots more sewing here and there on it. Nothing but blessings; for that; Today marking the last day of the African Games; I just want to look up and say "Thank you GOD".

Audifax Mompossa fittings with with "Dulcie Best" International Costume designer from England and amazing "couturiere" from the republic of Congo Betty Tembo. It was a pleasure working on this particular outfit and also finishing his suit hours before the show.

Working on "Trees, stars and planets costumes" right after their fittings. As a stylist and Craft-designer; Cutting these clothes and learning the skills on the job was one of my favorite moments including stepping on the sewing machine a few time. Exciting.

Flaunting my bagde on the last day.The day I wil never forget. The craziness backstage was so firing, I am excited to work in even more big projects; dressing 100 people in one 2 hours? chill... I go it. 10 in 5 minutes gave me enough practice. Pressure got nothing on me.

Styling and dressing Sapeurs during their fittings. This was probably the most exciting moment for me because styling is what I love to do and styling sapeurs blew my mind; they were all very excited to wear what I proposed; it just oppened my eyes even more to my capabilities; I replay the sapeurs moment a thousand times; Its the most amazing feeling ever to see your work up on screens and people loving it. I am blessed.
Sapeurs take their name from the acronym for their group: SAPE,meaning Société des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Élégantes. Ambianceur is a neologism coined in francophone Africa, which means persons who create ambience—atmosphere-makers, if you will. Famous quote in both Congo "Everyone is a Sapeur in Congo"  Yes I agree to that. 

Dressing "Brazza-Moderne" and chilling in the make up room with my "Green Dat" T-shirt I got from Global Green USA in New orleans Louisiana. Looking stylish and stil caring about the environment. 

Watching rehearsal before the opening ceremony.

God bless Congo.

God Bless Africa.

DON'T FORGET TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.

NO HIDDEN AGENDA - EXPOSED.

NO HIDDEN AGENDA - EXPOSED.

WOULD YOU STILL LOVE ME NAKED? "Can you love me naturally with no hidden Agenda... lashes off, hair extended freely like southern oaktress in December; Can you hold me near with deep passion in the night... contour washed away, my soul naked beneath the moonlight... Tell me I am the one you'll always remember. Love me naturally with no Hidden Agenda!"

Hi beautiful people;

I wanted to share this beautiful Art piece with you all; done by Allen called "Love me Naturally" found at Ashe (read Ashay). An organization that promotes African culture, African American talent an history. Arts can speak louder than words and this particular piece has given me a new meaning of beauty and acceptance.

Through this art piece, I am hoping we all feel confident in our skins. Whether black, white, Hispanic, mixed, Asian... etc. It doesn't mean that beauty enhancements are no good, I am all for it, but before you do that, make sure you are beautiful in your own skin and happy with your uniqueness. I grew up not liking my looks, after a few years of defining beauty for myself, i have come to the conclusion hat there is just one version of me, i am as beautiful as i can ever be, because there is no one like me. Another quote I really love is; " Why fit in when you were born to stand out?" Just speaks loud for me. 

I also got the chance to explore New Orleans Graffiti and sites area.

OOTD:

Denim Jacket - 600 ksh Toy Market

Jumpsuit: 1200 Ksh Mr. Price

T-shirt: 400 Ksh Jumia Kenya

Shoes: 300 Ksh Jumia Kenya

More so, I felt like even prouder to be African seeing how African Fashion is being preserved and seeing all the beautiful people so excited to learn about African culture, fashion, Art and ...etc.
