Words cannot describe how important my bestfriend Madison is to me. We are soul sisters. Its crazy how the world brings people into your life in weird ways and then that person(s) ends up being a vital part of your everyday function.
The minute I met Maddi I knew we were going to be lifelong friends. We vibe well with one another and I know she is someone I can count on always. There aren’t enough genuine people like her in the world. We go through all the ups and downs of life – together. She is one of the most selfless humans I have ever met.
Her company “Bongani” (which means grateful, in Zulu) is an incredible swimwear company that gives back to society. Maddi says “I’ve always wanted to start something that matters. Something that impacts lives and allows others to carry that influence forward. The people, places, and culture of Africa remind me that someone with so little can carry the biggest smile and that happiness is just a matter of perspective. I thought it would only be right to start my first project by creating a swimsuit line, inspired by the amazing people who make Africa beautiful. Each swimsuit embodies a unique, true story behind the name”.
Each purchase donates 10% of profits to United Through Sport in South Africa. One child will receive a clothing uniform for every swimsuit purchased.
Not only is the cause amazing, but the swimsuits themselves are comfortable, fit perfect to size, and are cute. There are so many different styles.
To say I am proud to be your bestfriend/sister is truly an understatement. Always continue to make the world a better place. A small difference can make a BIG difference.
