LUCY

Maasai people are known by their bravery, unique jewelries, and herbalist remedies. While the tribe's history is rich, there are some practices that should have stayed in history - mainly, practices pertaining to women. 

Growing up, Lucy fought through the age-old impediments that all Maasai women face: little access to education, lack of proper hygiene products, and little control over their own lives. As the first women of her tribe to graduate from university, this was not only an accomplishment for her, but an accomplishment for all women of her tribe.

Lucy's example stands to show that Maasai women can be become more than their tribe has dictated over the years.


The Maasai are semi-nomadic, meaning they move based on where their cattle can graze and thrive. Maasai are traditionally known to be pastoralists, who  keep cows and goats.
