"Every bird flies with its own
wings"
Sunday mornings in Kenya herald a vibrant procession of impeccably dressed
women, who delight in wearing their best pieces and elaborate hairdos to
church. Sidewalks become Sunday catwalks as each woman revels in the
opportunity to showcase herself as an African beauty queen.
The boldness of prints, intricate hairstyles, skillfully applied makeup, and
alluring fragrances culminate into a beautiful tapestry of diversity and color.
Each Sunday best becomes a celebration of not just personal style, but also a
reflection of the beauty found within the community. No woman outshines
another; each one a winning personality contributing to the collective
splendor of the occasion.
