THIS! Humans are amazing.
I was geeking out tonight with a friend (who’s an expert on the intersection of fashion & black culture) over the #Amasunzu hairstyle previously worn by Rwandan men and single women. Rwandans were showing us #AfroFuturism well-over a hundred years ago.

It is occasionally worn today, but rare. I’ve spent time in Rwanda and not seen it there.
Related, part of my journey to Rwanda was to visit eastern Congo. There, I witnessed the glory of the Congolese ‘dandy’ fashion culture that is #LeSape.

Le Sape culture is mostly associated with Kinshasa, far away on the other side of Congo. Yet, It also has a home in Goma.
For the past decade, Goma has been one of the most difficult places to live in Congo (and the world). Joy still flourishes there.
