"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.
