Bernie Mshana, a womanist by passion, an entrepreneur by circumstance and an artist by trade is (re)defining what it means, in her own terms, to be African, to be Woman, to be Creative, to be Fashionable, to be Intelligible, to be Beautiful.....to be IMARA. A product of her nomadic life, she is a multicultural, multilingual, and multimedia creative who fashions and showcase a life that is common to (or possible for) liminal hu-women like herself through her works of art. Her big hairy audacious goal in life is to become an Afro-Feminist Fashion Entrepreneur who's work will economically and socially empower African women. 

Bernie is currently pushing her Afro-feminist agendas on her blog imara under the domain berniemshana.com.
