Mmiri| Wai is about honouring the element of water through fashion, photography and braided hair art.

Mmuo Mmiri is a female deity with variant names, and the sustainer of sea life, the bringer of hope, provider of help and protection, the bringer of gifts and exotic things. Indeed, she is said to hold the key to the gate that leads to the world of solutions. Whenever the Igbo pray, he or she does not forget to add ka uzo anyi buru uzo mmiri, which means, “may our journey follow the path of the stream”. It is she who guides people to exotic lands, and chooses to permit human beings to travel and reach their destinations on top of the sea (Kanu 2013, 2015).
