Goodbye 2025, Hello 2026 🎊

Goodbye 2025, Hello 2026 🎊

There’s something sacred about the quiet pause between years. That gentle moment where we look back before stepping forward. Today, I find myself sitting with gratitude, reflection, and a softened heart as I say goodbye to 2025 and welcome 2026.

2025 was not a perfect year, but it was a purposeful one. It stretched me in ways I didn’t anticipate. It asked me to grow emotionally, spiritually, and creatively. It challenged my comfort zones and reminded me that becoming is rarely loud or glamorous. Sometimes, growth happens in silence, in prayer, in showing up even when you’re tired, unsure, or afraid.

This was a year of planting.

Planting faith when answers felt delayed.

Planting courage when the future felt uncertain.

Planting words through Wander & Weave, stories that carried pieces of my heart, my journey, and the beauty of African creativity.

Through this platform, I learned that storytelling is not just about being seen, it’s about seeing others. Shining a light on creatives, sharing lived experiences, and weaving faith into everyday moments became a form of worship, a reminder that our stories matter.

As I close the chapter on 2025, I release what no longer serves me: fear, comparison, rushed timelines, and the pressure to have everything figured out. I choose to carry forward the lessons, the answered prayers, and even the ones that are still unfolding.

Hello 2026 🤍

I enter this new year with intention. With hope. With faith. I am choosing softness without weakness, discipline without burnout, and dreams that are anchored in God. I am stepping into this year open-handed, trusting that what is meant for me will find me in its time.

May this be a year of alignment.

Of becoming.

Of deeper faith, bolder creativity, and quieter confidence.

Here’s to new beginnings, fresh pages, and beautifully unwritten chapters.

Welcome, 2026 ✨

Brows Before Barcodes: How Faith Built a Beauty Empire from the Ground Up

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 ...

THE STYLE ALCHEMIST – MEET LEEROY aka AFRICAN HIPPIE

THE STYLE ALCHEMIST – MEET LEEROY aka AFRICAN HIPPIE There’s fashion, and then there’s Leeroy. Or as the streets know him — African Hippie. Not just a name, but a whole creative revolution wrapped in thrifted jackets, shredded denim, and soul. Born in Zimbabwe and forged in the fire of resourcefulness, Leeroy’s story isn’t about luxury—it’s about turning limitations into language. In a world obsessed with the latest trends and designer labels, he was busy remixing scarcity into style. “Growing up, we didn’t have much,” he says, “so I got into fashion because I couldn’t afford the ‘in’ stuff.” What started as a budget survival tactic became his artistic north star. But don’t get it twisted—this isn't your average "rags to runway" tale. Leeroy’s work dives deep. His short film Paradiso is a hauntingly poetic exploration of religion, fear, and inner demons. It’s fashion meets film meets therapy. He and his team lean into the insecurities society tells us to hide, creating so...

Albutler & The Rozebowl Collection: A Streetwear Revolution Rooted in Zimbabwe

  Albutler & The Rozebowl Collection: A Streetwear Revolution Rooted in Zimbabwe In the ever-evolving world of fashion, some designers don’t just create clothes—they tell stories. Albutler, co-founder of The Rozebowl Collection, is one such visionary. His journey isn’t just about stitching fabric together; it’s about weaving identity, culture, and sustainability into every piece. "Rozebowl is just a bowl of roses," Albutler explains. "I always make sure that every design I create stands as a ROZE." But there's a deeper message behind the name. In his eyes, flowers—recognition, success, and respect—aren't just given; they must be earned. The 'Z' in ROZE is a nod to Zimbabwe, a reminder that this movement is homegrown and proudly African. What began as a small hustle, selling customized jeans, has now grown into a full-fledged brand. Inspired by icons like the late Virgil Abloh and Ev Bravado of Who Decides War, Rozebowl embraces the essence of str...
