Barack Obama Fashion

In honour of the US election, today I am mostly wearing my Barack Obama kanga. This is it laid flat.

The words roughly translate as CONGRATULATIONS BARACK OBAMA.   

Love and peace have been given us by God.

It was a gift from my Kenyan brother-in-law after Obama became President and the whole of Africa celebrated. Great isnt it?

Kangas are traditional in Swahili culture, brightly coloured with a border and usually carrying a message.  

They look great when you’re wandering around a hot African village, but I’m not sure how it’ll go down in Sainsbury’s. So for today I’m just wearing it around the house.

Good Luck Obama!
