Makena Mambo photographs 19 year old twin sisters Emily and Miriam Kinyanjui merging her Kenyan-American culture with elements typical in fashion photography. The sisters were adopted from Kenya at a very young age and raised in America by a Kenyan family. A Part of Me illustrates the beauty of Kenyan heritage through a personal journey of identity growing up in North Carolina.
