Stylish Daughter Spotlight: Uyanda Mbuli

The fashion world has given a collective nod to South Africa, one of the most recent emerging fashion markets of the world. South African designers have been able to make their mark as rising stars in the industry and continue to turn heads at the traditional fashion hubs like Milan, Paris, and New York.

One such rising star is Uyanda Mbuli, a young fashion icon in South Africa.

Taking Root

Welcome to my blog. Here you can join me on a journey to retrace my African roots through the discovery of art, literature, history, and current events as it pertains to the past and present Africa. I will cover themes of interest to the modern young African woman in the inter-African diaspora.
I also hope to build a network of other African women that can contribute anecdotes and experiences which we all have in common (I know more than a couple of us can relate to having our hair combed so hard that we lost sensitivity on our scalp, being asked ignorant questions by non-African classmates, and being pressured by our multitude of Aunties to get married as soon as you reach your 20's...)
Anyways, thanks for checking out this blog.
Enjoy!
