My Style: Sseko Designs 30 ways 30 days for Education

"Each one teach one" is an African American proverb that I say all the time. If you're not familiar with it, here's a little background. The saying started during slavery, a time when our people where denied an education. If you learned something, it was now your responsibilty to pass the torch to the next person and share that wealth of knowledge. That same giving spirit is the concept behind Sseko Designs.

Sseko is a brand based in Uganda that produces leather goods like sandals and accessories. The sandals are made by the caring hands of women earning money towards a university education. In the months between finishing high school and going to college, these young ladies put in real work. Half of their earnings go into a special savings account that will be used for tuition. When it's time to ship off for school, Sseko Designs gives university scholarships that match up to 100% of the savings each girl has made during her 9 month period with the company. Each young woman now has a fighting chance to become a bright, shining future lawyer, doctor or world leader.


Each piece of footwear is uniquely special. The base of the sandals are the same style, but you can interchange different straps and accessories to design your own. The selection is so cute ranging from classic elastic to funky, seasonal prints. I chose these pretty mint chiffon straps and decided to tie them like a pair of ballet shoes. Sseko even offers different sandal accessories to jazz up your outfit. I never have to stress out and go shopping for the perfect summer sandal again. Oh, and you can always re-up and get new straps whenever you like.

I'm so glad Sseko decided to include me as one of their ambassadors for 30 Days 30 Ways for Education. If you hear of a kind deed, it's important to spread the good news to others. Until the end of July, join the celebration and enjoy 20% off your purchase (use discount code Sseko30x30). Lend a helping hand for education and look fabulous while doing so.
