One of my favorite things about writing this blog is that it has given me a vehicle to acknowledge to myself and to whomever else is reading it, what an amazing group of people I have for my friends.
Today I will talk about a very special one, Samira, who is my friend of about 9 years now, and with whom I have shared many special moments in many different places all around the world.

My two favorite things about this girl are her sense of humor and her creativity. Samira has an amazing ability with her hands that go from braiding her own hair and her friend’s (like mine many times) to sewing, drawing, painting and much more.
But the one thing that she got really into is crochet, I guess one of the reasons could be that as a model, she is waiting in a casting room or backstage area and crochet is an easy thing to bring along like a book. She has taught me some basic stitches but I was never able to translate them into anything wearable, but her on the other hand, makes the most distinct, stylish, unique and cutest things ever.
Such is the success she has with her creations that orders are now popping up from all over the place, from baby wear, to dresses, bikinis and most recently dog clothing (I ordered something for Sasha - can’t wait!).
She doesn’t have a website yet, but if you wish to get quotes or more info on her work and orders please e-mail her directly at
samira_carvalho1@hotmail.com
Besides all the success with arts and crafts, Samira is also one of the founders of Clã das Amoras (The Blackberry Clan), a community created to honor the beauty and culture of all black women, defending their freedom of expression and building their self esteem.
