African Heritage: Soumba's Power Shines Bright Soumba stands as a profound representation of racial diversity, embodying the spirit of an African lady. Handcrafted by Afghan women refugees in India using discarded fabric, she exudes quiet confidence, bearing the weight of the world with poise. Soumba's elegant appearance, draped in a kaftan and adorned with a turban, emanates a powerful presence. Despite challenging circumstances, artisans pour their talents into creating this remarkable figure. Soumba embodies the nurturing qualities of a caring mother and the vivacious energy of youthfulness. In her intricate details, she celebrates the fusion of cultures and the richness of diversity, symbolising empowerment and enduring spirit. A testament to skill and creativity, Soumba signifies the strength within unity and the beauty of coming together harmoniously.
