Our Owambe is a modern wedding blog centred on alternative, style-led black weddings and events. Owambe is a Yoruba word commonly used in Nigeria and the diaspora to refer to a party. With that in mind, this community is a collective celebration of Our joy.
Our Owambe was born out of co-founders Assumpta Vitcu and Olivia de Santos’ frustration with the lack of representation of intersectional black love in the wedding industry. We are doing our bit to repair the imbalance by bringing you unapologetically stylish, varied and noteworthy wedding inspiration, tips, think pieces and creative party ideas while supporting and championing black businesses.
We also have the Life Is a Party Podcast where we discuss hot topics in the black love and event space.
