Ubuntu is an African philosophy that means 'I am, because we are." It describes the interconnectedness among all things. We all depend on every other being on this planet in ways large and small, and we feel those connections now more strongly than ever. To reach our full potential, both individually and as a society, we must help others reach theirs: I am because we are.
Hand-beaded in the Ngong Hills of Kenya, our Maasai Maker Mums come together as a community to bead these bracelets. We create them as reminders that we are all connected, no matter how far we may be from one another.
