Africa Always Lived Around Fashion. We Just Didnt Know We Did... SHELINA

She says, ''In canada, where I live and persue my career as a fashion designer, i try to use most material from home, inorder to bring that essence of 'Uafrika' in my work.''
 ''Inasikitisha that vitu kama khanga, vitenge, kaniki, mashuka ya kimasai, nk ni vitu ambavyo tumeishi navyo kwa generations nyingi lakini hatukujua umuhimu wake na wala hatukua na muamko wa kuvitumia vitu hivyo kujitangaza kiutamaduni, mpaka miaka ya karibuni ndipo tumekuja kujifunza.''

WASICHANA WAKIBONGO HATUJIAMINI; NDOMAANA HATUPENDANI- Nuru the Light

If I ever decide to move back to Bongo for good, ningeanzisha organization ya kusaidia wasichana between the age of 11 and 18 because during teenage ndo muda wa kujenga self confidence ya mtu. Wasichana wa kibongo tuna hilo tatizo, hatujiamini, tuna uoga wa kufanya vitu ndomana tunachukiana bila sababu. Ukiona mwenzako amefanikiwa katika sekta flani, you get threatened na badala ya kujitahidi ufike pale ulipo, unajaribu kumjengea chuki ili arudi nyuma.

  Hakuna kitu niachochukia kama haters. Sikatai positive criticism, lakini kuna zile ambazo zinatokana na chuki binafsi. Ndomana kwenye blog yangu siruhusu comments za uchochezi na chuki. Siwapi nafasi watu waliokosa kazi, wanaojichukia wenyewe kumaliza stress zao kwa kuandika hateful comments kuhusu watu wengine.

LINEX, ''DONT FAKE IT, WAIT TILL YOU GET IT''

Akiwa anakimbiza na video yake ya Aifola kwenye tv stations nyingi Bongo, right now Linex anasema he is thankful kwa mafanikio ambayo ameyapata so far, hakuwahi kuhisi atafika hapo alipo. Lakini pia anaamini siri kubwa ya kuishi kwa amani, hasa unapokuwa star, ni kuwa humble, kujishusha, kuheshimu mashabiki wako na kuukubali ukweli.

   In our interview, Linex said, ''Heshima na kujitambua ni msingi mzuri unaoweza kumfanya mtu aishi poa kwenye umaarufu wake. Cha msingi ni kufanya kazi yako iwe nzuri na watu waikubali kwanza, hayo mengine yote yatafuata baadae. Ndio, kuna umuhimu wa msanii kuishi maisha tofauti na binadamu wa kawaida ili kujijengea image flani, lakini kama mfuko hauruhusu usilazimishe sana. Kama mambo hayajakaa sawa, hakuna haja ya kufake maisha. Bongo bado wasanii hatutengenezi hela kiivyo kiasi cha kutaka kuishi maisha ya ustar uliopitiliza. Subiri utakapojaaliwa kupata, utafanya fujo za aina zote.

WEKEZENI ZAIDI KWENYE UBORA WA VIDEO -RAQEY

Ukizungumzia bongo fashion events huwezi kuacha kumtaja Raqey, one of the biggest and best photographer there is... But he also makes music videos and to my opinion videos zake are unique and they have a different sense of style.

 When I interviewed raqey about making his videos, here's what he had to say, "I believe in making something of quality and not just a video. And I am happy that bongo flava artists wameamka na kuamua kufanya videos outside Tanzania, because we really lack equipments za kutengeneza good videos. Location pia ni tatizo, sehemu nzuri za kufanyia videos zinakuwa expensive so kwa msanii wa kawaida ni ngumu kuafford. Lakini haohao wasanii wakawaida wasidhani anything comes easily, wasikurupuke na million moja wanasema wanataka video. Msanii anatakiwa ajipange, ili akitoa kitu kitoke cha ukweli. Uchumi ni tatizo letu kubwa, basi tulia na kusanya hela. Halafu jipange ili ukitoa video iwe kidogo na hadhi ya kimataifa"
