Welcome to Wander and Weave: A Journey Through Creativity, Faith, and Culture


Hello, friends! I’m Jez, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to Wander and Weave! This blog is a place where I’ll share my journey, my passions, and all the little details that make life such an inspiring adventure.


As a creative from Zimbabwe, I’m starting this blog with the hope of shining a light on the incredible artistry and innovation that exists in Zimbabwe. From photographers to fashion designers, writers to musicians, there is no shortage of talent and vision in my homeland. Through Wander and Weave, I’ll be sharing stories of Zimbabwean creatives who inspire me and who I believe deserve a place on the world stage. My hope is to celebrate the vibrant spirit of Zimbabwe and connect with readers who appreciate creativity in all its forms.


Beyond showcasing creativity, my faith is an important part of my life. I’m also the voice behind Faith Warblers, a Christian blog where I write about faith, purpose, and hope from a Christian perspective. I hope to share a bit of that faith here, too, as it influences every part of my life and work. There’s a beautiful community of faith-based creatives in Zimbabwe, and I’m excited to introduce readers to some of these inspiring voices, especially those of fellow Christian bloggers.


I’m also deeply passionate about fashion and styling! I’ll be sharing fashion tips that reflect my love for unique, creative styles. Whether you’re looking for a fresh twist on your wardrobe or just want to experiment with fashion that feels more you, you’ll find inspiration here. Fashion is an art, and I see it as another way to express who we are.


Since moving to Japan, my love for photography has grown. I find beauty in everything from quiet moments to busy city streets, and capturing that beauty through a lens is something I can’t wait to share. Photography has taught me patience, perspective, and the importance of cherishing the little things.


Of course, Wander and Weave wouldn’t be complete without some life lessons, travel tips, and food stories! I’ll share some of my favorite recipes and dishes from Zimbabwe and Japan—two countries with such rich culinary traditions. There’s nothing quite like discovering new flavors or a dish that instantly feels like home, and I’d love to take you along on that journey.


Thank you for being here. Whether it’s through stories of Zimbabwean creatives, a faith-centered perspective on life, or style ideas and photography, I hope Wander and Weave will be a space that uplifts, inspires, and makes you feel a little more connected to the world.


Let’s start this journey together—one post, one story, one moment at a time.


Happy Reading!!!!!

My Journey Through Fashion, Art, and Finding Authenticity

My Journey Through Fashion, Art, and Finding Authenticity Fashion has always been a part of my story, almost like a heartbeat pulsing with each new chapter. Growing up, I eagerly awaited Saturdays—not just for worship, but for the fashion parade at church. Our congregation was the runway, and every Sabbath was a fashion show. That’s where my love for style was born. I could tell early on that I was different from my siblings and friends. While they followed the trends, I was drawn to outfits that stood out, that said, “Here I am!” Fashion became my armor during my teen years, a time when self-esteem was hard to come by. Being slender wasn’t always celebrated, and society had names for it—chicken legs, stick, mabhonzo. The criticism chipped away at me, affecting my relationships and self-worth. But clothes became my comfort. They gave me confidence and a way to feel unique, even if it meant layering shorts under skirts to feel a bit “thicker.” I would even go so far as to crush brown br...

Brows Before Barcodes: How Faith Built a Beauty Empire from the Ground Up If you’ve ever doubted the power of lip gloss, grit, and prayer—Faith is here to change your mind. Before she was the founder of House of Beauty, a one-stop glam hub for makeup, hair, and nails, Faith was scanning groceries as a till operator. Yep—before she beat faces, she was bagging tomatoes. But deep down, she knew there was something more. Something... beautiful. So, what did she do? She started small. Like, $5-a-face small. With every paycheck, she added to her makeup kit. Then came lockdown—and while the world was bingeing Netflix, Faith was bingeing makeup tutorials on YouTube like her life depended on it. (Spoiler alert: her glow-up did depend on it.) With fierce self-belief and a “God’s got me” mindset, she launched herself into the world of beauty—no roadmap, no rich uncle, just pure go mode. “I had so much trust in myself,” she says. And that trust? It turned into bookings, then weddings, then brands ...
