Africa Always On My Mind

I have traveled to the continent of Africa four times and it has stolen my heart. Stepping on African earth awakens my spirit and warms my heart. While I live miles away from this land that holds an essence of my being, I connect to it through my fashion on a daily basis. Intricate patterns, bold fabrics, hand embroidery and beadwork are African details that I incorporate into my daily wardrobe. I respect the hands that create this art and the traditions that allow history to be shared with future generations. Forever in my heart, Africa, is always on my mind.

      Yes, it is! The Motherland. This top is a vintage piece my sister has had since high school and she recently gifted it to me! I love it!
