About Proverbs
There she sat, longing for a place for us to tell our own stories.
So we began, not with walls and shelves, but with a vision. A home for voices too often left unheard. A place where threads, textures, and forms speak the language of heritage.
Proverbs is that place. A meeting ground of craft and culture, where every piece carries a story, every detail a memory. We gather the old and the new, the hand and the heart, so that Africa’s stories may sit where they belong; at the table of the world.
Who is She?
She is Claire Munyae, a dreamer, a doer, and a believer in the power of stories. She is passionate about African creativity and its limitless potential. Claire believes in the strength of African-made products and the ability of local craftsmanship to thrive on a global stage.
Claire is the founder and creative force behind Proverbs. Her journey began with a simple yet powerful question: “What if we could change the narrative of Made in Africa?” With years of experience in design and branding, Claire saw a gap: African creativity was vibrant, diverse, and deeply rooted, yet often underrepresented on the global stage. Proverbs was born from a desire to change that story.
For Claire, Proverbs is more than a brand, it’s a movement. A celebration of craftsmanship, community, and culture. A way to show that African-made is world-class, and always has been.
“Made in Africa, for the world. It is time to change the narrative,” she said.
