One of the things I love most about Social Media is the power it has to create community and the ability you have to build bonds with people from all walks of life without ever having to meet in person.
Trishโs story of our initial connection on Instagram and meeting in Nairobi is such proof that social media (if used positively) can produce so much good.
I am humbled and blessed to have such amazing supporters! Who would have thought I even have a faithful few in Nairobi too!?!
..humbled and grateful

! ๐๐๐๐ I would be remiss if I didn't explain this picture's incredible back story! โโ
's page popped up on my explore page back in 2015 (before the Gram had loads of 'ads') and I was immediately drawn to this FABULOUS woman with impeccable style and yet her sweet spirit jumped out at me. I stayed screenshotting her outfits, her front-row fashion week appearances, just her life basically. I saw myself in her! As the years rolled by I discovered she also loved the Lord and I was like, fashion AND faith?! God opened doors and the industry had no choice but to make room for her!
Years rolled by, she posted, I liked (&screenshot!) Until one day I spontaneously wished her a happy Birthday cause she was like a friend in my head, and she responded ๐๐. Again, a testament to how sweet her spirit is. Time marched on and we developed an interesting repertoire, until last year we joked how we would one day meet and hug in person.....hahahhaha (right).
Well, let's say, God has an unmatched sense of humor, cause next thing we knew, Chauncea (& Mama KC๐) was coming to for work (LA โโโNairobi), & sure enough we hugged and met in person!๐๐ Think of it, from screenshots to selfies! It surely came to pass. And let me say, 'product as advertised', was just as sweet, warm, hard-working and faith-filled as she is on her page! An absolute pleasure!
My point? Life throws intense curveballs as much as incredible surprises, and has a great sense of humour!
