As I sat in the dimmed auditorium of the National Theatre of Namibia, something shifted within me. God of Women wasn’t just a play unfolding onstage, it was a mirror held up to our history, our customs, and, perhaps most powerfully, our silence.

Ten years ago, Nomad Wellness Homestead, as we know it today, was just an idea grounded in love and fuelled by the belief that wellness should be more than a luxury. This idea has grown into something truly remarkable, and today, it lives through this sanctuary where you will find restorative healing through wellness.
I’m just one girl wearing many hats, and I love it.
But here’s the truth: I didn’t always love every single hat I wear.
Some of them? I learned to love. Some of them found me while I was just trying to meet a deadline. Most of them weren’t part of the plan.
We’ve all heard the slow fashion gospel. It’s ethical. It’s sustainable. It’s the future.

Running has never looked this good.

In the world of Namibian fashion, one name stands out for its dedication to craftsmanship and cultural storytelling, KVRO Accessories. Founded by Rebecca Uukongo, widely known as Becca, the brand is a testament to passion, resilience, and the deep-rooted history of beadwork in Namibia and Africa. Becca, a professional fashion designer and self-taught accessories creator, embarked on her journey quite serendipitously. In search of the perfect beaded anklet, one she couldn’t find anywhere, she decided to make it herself. What started as a personal project soon became a deep passion. Friends admired her handcrafted pieces and frequently asked where she got them, inspiring her to share her craft with a wider audience. Thus, KVRO Accessories was born.

But for Gen Zers, colonial oppression is something they’ve only encountered in history books, stories, and songs. Yet, not having lived it, doesn’t mean they don’t understand its significance.

Here is someone whose taste and sense of style aren’t dictated by what’s trending but by something deeply seated in a love for playing around, finding what feels right, and never straying away from trying different things.
