I am known for many things, but the one I am most proud of is being the mother of Jadon and Sophie. ⁣ ⁣ Becoming a mother completely changed my life. Days are hard, fun, rewarding and challenging, but our days, no matter what are filled with joy. ⁣♥️ ⁣ They are also filled with lots of kisses and snuggles. Thank you kiddos for making me a mother. I am forever grateful. ⁣ ⁣ #motherhood #motherbliss #sophiegene #nuccioclan TODAY IS THE DAY!!! 👏👏⁣ official launch day for Moxie Podcast. ⁣ ⁣ Today we have Cindy Odengo on the show and she is one amazing woman. ♥️⁣ ⁣ Cindy is the founder of @mombasaworks and has experience in international development work. Her desire is to let people know that Mombasa is working, we do work and there is a community here that is inspiring, innovative and creative.⁣ ⁣ Go take a listen, subscribe, leave a review. ⁣ And most importantly. Get up, get out and find your moxie today! ✨✨⁣ #podcastlaunch #moxiepodcast simply put. I love sitting around this table and being creative. I love being able to see our women grow in their skill and our customer get to create something they have always wanted. ⁣ ⁣ We provide an ethical + socially conscious solution and best of all we care about the whole person. Our artisan and YOU. We want everyone to experience the love and community of Imani Collective, always. ♥️⁣ ⁣ Our 2019 theme for this year is innovation. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s start being creative together! ✨ #slowmade #handmade #thisisempowerment #jointhemovement #imanicollective I remember as if it were yesterday. My first class for Imani Collective was May 27, 2013. I remember waiting anxiously as the women all arrived over an hour late. I then remember me quickly trying to teach them about their sewing machine and the first product design we would do. ⁣ ⁣ And then, I really remember... when no one moved and everyone stared back at me blankly. ⁣ ⁣ When Imani Collective first began, almost 80% of our women had no formal education. This means they did not know how to read, or even write their name. AND of course they had no idea how to read their measuring tape to draw out a pattern because they did not know their numbers. ⁣ ⁣ It was at this very moment that I knew @imanicollective was going to be so much more than just teaching the skill of sewing, but it was going to be about educating and empowering. ⁣♥️ ⁣ As founder, I take pride in all of our holistic programs we run especially our weekly literacy classes. Our women have grown so much. They not only can draw patterns and make beautiful products for all of us to enjoy, but they sign every product with pride. ⁣ ⁣ YES. They SIGN every product. 👏⁣ 6 years ago, they had never held a pencil and now they can read, write, design and be creative. ⁣ ⁣ This is not about a temporary fix or a quick handout. This is empowerment. ✨✨⁣ ⁣ #jointhemovement #thisisempowerment 📷 @hannahloispictures Simply put, this is why I love my job. We do BIG, transformative things, but it’s also the little things like singing, dancing and celebrating over new creative products that make all those hard days worth it. ⁣ I live for the moments like today. ⁣ ⁣ Pure joy. ♥️⁣ ⁣ #thisisempowerment #handmade #fairtrade #imanicollective Founders favorite • sharing stories and laughs. ⁣ ⁣ I am always asked about what is our greatest achievement or what I am most proud of. To be honest, it’s simple. I absolutely love the culture that encompasses Imani Collective. ✨⁣ ⁣ We began as a family and continue to be a family. We care about the whole person and that shines throughout all of our workshops. We love to see actual life change and transformation that continues to overflow into the family and community. ⁣ ⁣ Our greatest achievement is that we seek to always foster genuine, authentic relationships. It is the core of who we are. If there is ever a day where we have lost sight of the people who make up @imanicollective then we have done wrong. ⁣ ⁣ We care about empowering, transforming and ultimately bringing joy daily to our people. ♥️ #jointhemovement #thisisempowerment #journeystrength
