We feature Esther Konkara aka the Kenyan Dolly Parton and Nigeria's big star The Country Man. As well as 'Coat of Many Colours' sung in Kikuyu. 4.4K views · 169 likes · 34 reposts · 0 replies 26 Aug 2026 Dolly Parton somehow stayed 25 for 55 years, built an empire in rhinestones, loved God without weaponizing it, welcomed everybody, gave back endlessly and made being kind look powerful. ❤️ Ultra feminine. Business savvy. Inclusive. Faithful. Funny. Generous. Completely Dolly. ht 814.5K views · 21.8K likes · 3.5K reposts · 695 replies 25 Aug 2026 Great to celebrate the launch of @chiggi book Ukrainian Lessons.
