I’m
Petronella Tayamika Mahachi,you can call me Taya. I write
Afroccentric Fashion Blogs to empower women and help them solve their wardrobe
problems by showcasing some of the hottest looks and trends from the catwalks
from all over the world with a
special connection with African
influence on fashion. Afroccentric is the celebration of fashion and
success. I’m not here to make a contribution to people’s failures and
mishaps.Afroccentric consists of widely read thoughts, personal experiences and observations on fashion while spotlighting famous and unknown talent.My goal is to create an awareness of black and African designers and models
from all over the world whilst honoring their achievements, contributions and
pursuits in couture. African designers and models are hardly common figures in
the fashion industry, but the truth is they do exist.This is a fun way for me to utilize my skills and
passion for fashion whilst celebrating the inspiration from Africa. I live in
the United Kingdom. I was born in Zimbabwe. I am so proud of my heritage.I consider myself very lucky to have had the exposure to the Zimbabwean culture as well as the British culture.I’ve had a passion for fashion from a very young age.As the saying goes "life
happened" and it took me a while to realise my dream. I am currently studying
fashion and will be showcasing my Debut Collection at Liverpool Fashion Week.My brand name is Tayamika. Prior to taking a diversion into the fashion world, I was a Makeup Artist and Beauty Consultant. I
absolutely loved the glitz and glam that came with the work.I met so many people and worked with a lot of interesting people including Ndubz.I find it quite difficult to write about myself. So to deflect attention away from myself I will focus on other people by praising their talents and virtues through my blog.Feel free to contact me if you are interested in making me your Editor for a big glossy magazine to talk fashion.I would like to hear from you. Feel Free to contact me if you feel you have something to share on this blog.Maybe you have something fashion related that you want the world to know? Get in touch I am here to connect with you.

If you would create something, you must be something.
I have spread my dream beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Every artist was once an amateur.
Success in life, in anything depends upon the number of persons one can make himself agreeable to.
Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
We are shaped and fashioned by what we love
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, you are a leader.
Believe that you have it, and you have it.
You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.
