“I am a Xhosa woman from Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape. I\u2019m wearing Umbhaco, a traditional Xhosa attire made from cotton with unique styles and patterns with white with black accents. Modern versions now come in various colours. The AmaXhosa are one of the four Nguni nations in South Africa, alongside AmaNdebele, AmaSwazi, and AmaZulu. Xhosa clans share common clan names despite having different surnames. The Xhosa language is known for its clicks, and storytelling through music and dance like umtyityimbo, which is central to my culture.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cSotho people are known for their Seanamarena blankets and Mokorotlo hats, but what I love about my outfit is how it uniquely blends tradition with a contemporary twist. Instead of wearing the blanket in the usual way, I’ve transformed it into a top made from blanket fabric, making my attire both distinctive and innovative.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cMy Indian cultural wardrobe consists of a traditional silk Kanjivaram kurta (Indian shirt) and pyjama (pants) with Jutti (Indian traditional shoes), which, culturally-speaking, is traditional for North India. I follow Santana\/Hinduism, which is not a \u2018religion\u2019 per se, but rather a way of life. One of my personal favourite Santana quotes is \u2018Non-malice to all creatures by deeds, thoughts and words, and showing kindness and doing charity, this is eternal duty of wise ones.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
