Showcasing African colours, fashion and culture in New Zealand context

After embarking on a journey to share stories of everyday women and non-binary in New Zealand, we are sharing our interview with Karen from Black Creatives Aotearoa community series 👋  

Karen Maponga is a social worker from Zimbabwe, who is pursuing her love for colour and fashion in Christchurch. Karen has a beautiful fashion store: https://kayfashboutique.com/ inspired by African colours and beauty. In her interview, we talk about her journey with the fashion boutique, social work and cultural differences between Africa and New Zealand.
