Pamoja Japan

Today at 2PM the Japanese Embassy in Kenya will be holding a memorial service in remembrance of all who suffered from the 2011 tragedy. It is also a call for solidarity and togetherness for those still suffering from the implications of this crisis.

As people that empathise with humanity and as global citizens we too are in solidarity with Japan, in this time of great need.

Sometimes as we struggle to make it through difficult times, hearing the wisdom of those who have struggled, questioned and dreamed before us can make the journey easier.

We hope that these quotes will uplift any and all facing trying times.

"Tough times never last, but tough people do." - Robert Schuller

"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves." - Edmund Hillary

What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Feb28th, 1pm, 1 People, 1 Anthem, 1 Kenya

According to Martin Luther King in his beyond Vietnam Address of 4th April 1967, "A time comes when silence is betrayal." It is at such a time that our voices must be raised in unison, and in unity towards the greater good. That is the essence of the beautiful struggle. MLK urges us on in such a time with these words:

“We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. And we must rejoice as well, for surely this is the first time in our nation's history that a significant number of its religious leaders have chosen to move beyond the prophesying of smooth patriotism to the high grounds of a firm dissent based upon the mandates of conscience and the reading of history. Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us.”

Our country is ours to direct, its future vision is ours to claim, its reality is ours to create.
We can no longer be silent!

So let us join hands in unity, in peace, with one focus in mind on Feb 28th 2011. Let us not be hindered by any naysayers, for the one voice in the wilderness can and has been the truth even against the majority.

On Feb28 as Kenyans, and as brothers and sisters from other nations who stand with us in solidarity we declare:

We are extremely proud to be Kenyan.
We are proud of our beautiful country
We are proud of our diversity cultures and traditions
We are proud of our heroes
We are proud of our high achievers
We are proud of being hustlers
We are proud of our hoods
We are proud of our tribes and twengs
We are proud of our kanges and our mats
We are proud of our artists and musicians
We are proud of our industries and farms!
We are proud of our sports teams!

On the 28th of February 2011 at 1pm, wherever you are, at work, in the supermarket, in traffic, in school, on campus, in hospitals, in churches, in mosques, in temples, in synagogues, on sports pitches, in court, on your farm, at police stations, at armed forces barracks, in matatus, in buses, on the beach, in the game parks, at the airport, in parliament, in State House, in your homes...

On the 28th of February 2011 at 1pm, we stand
On the 28th of February 2011 at 1pm, we unite
On the 28th of February 2011 at 1pm, we shall speak in one voice.

On the 28th of February 2011 at 1pm, let’s sing our anthem, all three verses

On the 28th February 2011 the world will watch as Kenyans stand UNITED; 1pm, 1 nation, 1 people, 1 anthem, united in 1 prayer for 1 Kenya

We are Kenya!

Memories of the good old days

Sometimes the nostalgia of the good old days hits you, the days when all you had in mind was running off at 7am to play Kati with the neighborhood gang. Or afternoons spent pulling at your KCC car, home made with the slippers or bottle tops that were considered 'rubbish' turned into little wheels that flew on the dusty sands.

Remember this?

Yes those were the days, simple, fun and un-pretentious. When the taste of Goody-Goody and Patco in your mouth could not be compared to any other pleasure. When Blue-Band came in a metal container and KBC began way past noon. Remember those days? These were the times of Rambo, who's exploits were trapped in a video tape that sometimes got chewed in your VCR to your disgust and misery.

Sometimes at Fluid Towers we can't help but think that children these days have really missed out on the simple pleasures of life (yes we know we sound old)... While watching them, and many times joining them on their game consoles, we wonder if they will have the same priceless memories that were shared across almost all Kenyan homes, rich or poor?

Wearing tees Kenyan celebrity style!

T shirts are some of the most versatile styles we can adapt to our everyday clothing. Forget the uber-casual reputation of the tee, sometimes it can be a smoldering addition to your wardrobe.

 You can turn your tee into a head-turning dress that leaves people gasping for breathe. Avril gets a little naughty here with this off shoulder, gray tee that is daring to say the least.

Nonini on the far right has the ladies lovin him in this black number. Pairing it up with a 'bad-boy' leather jacket and killer attitude!

For a patriotic twist, Madtraxx above and Churchill below, are representing the 254 to the max! Both have t-shirts that are unique to their style but that keep the Kenyan spirit alive, good one..

The classic look of the white tee is a must have for all wardrobes, male or female. Nameless is working this look to perfection below, pairing his white tee with a simple pair of jeans and gorgeous belt.

  

And to end this post we leave you with a quote from Giorgio Armani "I've always thought of the T-shirt as the Alpha and Omega of the fashion alphabet."

Enjoy your week and stay inspired!!!

PS: We have a surprise lined up for you, keep posted!

Socially Conscious Fashion

Wear it with Pride


Fluid Tees has worked with various non-profit groups to better society at large. We have also been involved with initiatives promoting peace and a more democratic Kenya. As well as a campaign supporting African teams at the World Cup.


We firmly believe in doing our part to make the world a better place and as a result we would love to take the pleasure in introducing you to a brand that also works towards this goal. Pamoja!


Edun is famously owned by Bono's wife and was set up with the goal of improving African trade.

The majority of Edun Apparel clothing - 80% of units manufactured - is made in Africa, specifically in Tunisia, Tanzania and Kenya, the remaining 20% is split between Peru and China.

The brand has worked with children from Kibera-Bidii School- to produce custom made t-shirts. This initiative goes to support  basic needs, such as lunch, supplies, healthcare, and development projects at the Bidii School and Kudos to Edun, they claim that one hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of these tees go back towards this fund.

According to Edun Live, they have built the business solely in Africa and are committed to expanding production of their fashion line - that is 15% African made - on the continent on a year to year basis. The company stands by the quality of their African made products and are actively working towards increasing their capacity there. Below are images of some of their work:
