About the
Calendar
Carol Muthiga-Oyekunle, also known as Lolita Lorenzo, is a Kenyan American
artist whose stunning portraits radiate power and beauty. She conceived an
"intergalactic Afrofuturistic time-traveling woman warrior" as an homage to
courageous African women who craft textiles to support their families. Their
patterns with vibrant colors became part of her design aesthetic. And their
perseverance showed her that empowered women can change the world. This
collection of portraits depicts strong women in a fashion editorial context,
drawing on organic forms to create their fantastical "body armor couture."
