Sometimes foreign words scare many of us from achieving certain goals or objectives because the lingo was either complex and daunting or we misunderstood the meaning. Animation is one of those words that confuse.. Animation basically means Movement and nothing else. The movement could either be a journey or an expression-public speakers that don’t animate are known to be boring.

Being proud of your roots should reflect from the way you feel and dress. You dont have to start knitting you boots or wrap yoursel into your national flag to recharge your beauty, but some creativity and small touches, are what you need.

Stay organised, purge your beauty products periodically. Also, make getting ready simpler by dividing your makeup into two containers - one for things you wear every day and the other for special occasion items.

Most people are going for natural because their hair got damaged, wanted to try something else,
thought that Africans shouldn’t relax their hair and salons are making a free killing!

Why are you going Natural?

I decided to go natural again because I missed my hair. I like seeing how my curls change as my hair gets longer. I stopped relaxing my hair not because of breakage, damage, the expense, or wanting to try something else. Most ladies are still relaxing their hair and it all looks the same, flat, thin, and even when its long it just falls down their backs.

I think that’s what I missed about my natural hair…it grows out instead of down. I like big hair and I like not having to use a comb, brush, flat iron, or blowdryer. I like making my own products for my hair and I wasn’t really focused on that when it was relaxed. I like that my hair is unique, yes there are other types similar to mine, but not quite….I like what grows out of my head, even when it shrinks.
I have had long, thick relaxed hair and it was nothing special. When my hair grows now, it just keeps changing and I am so excited to watch the progress. I still have bad hair days like everyone else, but it only takes a little water to fix it and it doesn’t take the 3-4 hours to wash and style.

Its not everyday that we spend time with a Congolese beautiful sister from Rutshuru, in diaspora [uganda] as most sisters are either scattered in refugee camps around the great lakes region, experiencing discrimination and missery from fellow africans who are too selfish to look beyond their little tribes and small clans.
Discrimination has also found its way into the Rutshuru humor: Two Congolese sisters are gossiping with their mother. The first is complaining that her Hutu husband only has intercourse with her in the missionary position, and the second is complaining about her Tutsi husband who only has intercourse doggy-style.The Mother sighs and says, “God have mercy on your father. He never discriminated against missionary position or doggy-style.”

Looking good and confident is part of our culture..
