BEAUTY WAS BORN IN AFRICA

Karama Umuntu magazine is a collective effort by young Africans living in Diaspora who strive to portray African cultural heritage through hair, beauty and fashion. The idea was born out of the annual African hair and beauty show in the United Kingdom.
African beauty became entrenched in the world market through high profile models such as Iman, Alek wek, Liya Kebede.

The word Karama in Swahili means a gracious gift from God. In Arabic, Karama means an honor or dignity. The word Karama in the Luo language of the Acholi tribe in the northern Uganda, means celebration, a great coming together of a clan, family or group of people to celebrate, an important occasion, for example, Christmas.Ubuntu is a sub-Saharan African ideology focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word has its origins in the Bantu languages of Southern Africa. Ubuntu is seen as a traditional African concept.Ubuntu is used to emphasize the need for unity. The Zulu maxim Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu means a person is a person through other people. The Ubuntu philosophy is therefore important because it provides Africans with a sense of self-identity, self-respect, and achievement.Umuntu is the creator of his or her world, which constantly changes during his /her existence. Umuntu is the creator of politics, law religion, etc. Through these creative activities, umuntu gains experience, knowledge and a philosophy of life based on truth. An African philosophy of life that guides the thinking and actions of Africans must therefore be found in the historical experiences and not from philosophical abstractions that have very little meaning to lifeThe 1st Issue features:Africa’s Media Mogul – Dr Alistair SeyodeThe dream for Africa- Edwin TumukundeLemar in AfricaAfrica’s Top Artiste – King of dance hall: RedsanMirembe Campbell the Uganda Australian ActressWhen will Africa win the world cup?The pride of Gabon- GaelamourGhana young entrepreneur Nana TamakloeInterviews with top UK African premiership footballersExclusive Behind the scene at Karama Umuntu Hair Show
