Not your average Maasai: Jacqueline Kibacha

Posted on May 15, 2013 by aurumeve in Pan Africa // 5 Comments

Founded just three years ago by Tanzanian designer Jacqueline Kibacha, Heart365 Emporium brings the beauty and vitality of Tanzanian Maasai art to the forefront in a bold and beautiful way.

Kibacha has already garnered many awards and accolades throughout both Europe and Africa. She is an excellent example of an artist that is celebrating her heritage ad bringing it to the forefront.

Kibacha also gives back, by donating proceeds to the Emusoi Centre, Arusha, in an effort to provide and facilitate opportunities for Maasai girls both educationally and vocationally.

Yes I’m a huge fan of her! They are the kind of pieces where that’s all you need on! No earrings or any other jewelry competes when you’re wearing one of Jacqueline’s pieces 🙂
