\"Ally<\/a><\/p>\n

You have been highly involved in the development of the art and culture in Tanzania through your creative presentation; can you go into depth as of how you merge both your passion and involvement in bettering the arts in Tanzania?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arts and Culture in Tanzania has always grown from a non-existence industry to struggling and now it is an industry that has made a huge impact at major international platforms. For me – I have always known to be part of the creative industry, never thought fashion would be it, but after realizing my love for colours and my passion for clothes I realized fashion was the chosen career for me. I have been active in the fashion industry in Tanzania and East Africa for over 5 years now and I definitely love what I do for a living. However because there are no fashion schools or institution in Tanzania, I try to meet all the young aspiring designers and tell them about the fashion industry and to guide them in the right path – I am also actively involved in the Drug-Free Zanzibar NGO where we try to raise funds for the sober houses to survive.<\/p>
