This got me curious about what my own current collection of kangas had to offer in terms of sayings.
Checking when I got home, I found that my kangas say:
- Siri si umbeya (A secret isn’t gossip)
- Mungu ndiye kimbilio letu (God is our refuge)
- Nemekuja kutembea sikuja kwa umbea (I have come to visit, I didn’t come to gossip)
- Kuomba si kupata mungu akipenda atakupa (To ask is not to get; if God wishes, he will give you)
- Muumbaji ni mmoja njoo tuishi pamoja (The Creater is one; come let’s live together)
- Upendo ni nuru ya maisha (Love is the light of life)
- Maisha ni kutafuta siyo kutafutana (Life is about seeking not going after each other)
Tell me, do you have a favorite kanga saying?
If so, what is it, what does it mean, and why do you like it so much?
If you are an avid kanga wearer but never pay much attention to the words written on them, how about checking now (and sharing) what’s written on your favorite kanga?
Does this saying in any way reflect something that’s going on in your life?

Otherwise, that’s it from me.
I wish you a great weekend and, as always, look forward to hearing what you have to say.
Until the next time,
