“Even Silence is Stitched with Colour when a Woman Walks in Truth” - African Proverb

Wear Your Story

A blog for African women reclaiming presence,

memory, and voice through dress, image and story.

Welcome to the Blog

Fragments of Me

Come in slowly.

This is not a fashion blog. It is about how we dress the parts of ourselves that never had language. The parts we covered because we had to. The parts that still carry what was never said.

I write for women like me. Women who’ve worn grief to work. Who’ve wrapped shame in bright colours. Who’ve stood tall while hiding.

Here, you won’t be told what to wear. You’ll be invited to notice what your clothes have been saying. To choose what feels true now.

Start with the first story. Read what speaks. And when it’s time, reach out.

You are not alone.
