I’ve been dancing in my Sseko Designs shoes (yes the ones in the photo below with the va-va voom red straps) in excitement for this day!
And. It’s. here! Yay! The Share Your Heritage Contest on Facebook.
Earlier, this year I opened up my heart and shared my story of cultural identity and my mission to inspire others to celebrate who they are and embrace all of who they are. For a few weeks & months, I was so overcome by the Facebook, phone call and email love from everyone who read my story and shared their stories with me. I never expected it. People who I’d never met shared their personal stories with me, and I was so moved! I wanted to give back to you all for supporting my journey and story…. so today I’m announcing the 2013 “Celebrate Your Heritage” contest!
I was born in Uganda, and it’s only fitting that I’m giving away a $75 gift card for Sseko Designs shoes. I discovered Sseko though Making Things Happen friend Abigail Luby of Chips and Salsa Designs. Sseko Designs is a footwear and accessories company based in Uganda that empowers Ugandan women to pursue their dreams using fashion. They produce beautiful, unique leather sandals with interchangeable fabric straps and leather bags.
More details please!
