Hi! My name is Mpinganzima Annie, the face behind The Sunflower Bookshelf. Now here’s what you got to know about me:

• I love God so much. I find peace and joy in prayer. And because of that, my favorite songs happen to be gospel ones.

• Most of the time, you’ll find me reading. Books have always been my best of companions. I carry one everywhere. When I’m free, I read. When I’m not free, I read. Happy or sad, I read. Anytime and anywhere, I love reading.

• I’ve studied economics, finances, and accounting with all the courses that go with those. From the knowledge I got from these courses, I got a job that I love and a mind equipped with too much math that I use in everything whether necessary or not.

• I love flowers, especially daisies and sunflowers. I love spaces with flowers. I love people who gift flowers way more. I love flower shops. I love tees with graffiti designs of flowers. I love clothes with flower embroidery. I love flower gardens. I love names with flowers as inspos like Rose or Lily. I love ceramics with drawings of flowers. I love flowers, is that hard to understand?

• I love being at home. I love taking care of the house and people I call home. Homemaking, for me, is not just about chores or routines; it is an expression of care, beauty, and intentionality. I find joy in the small details, the gentle rhythms, and the everyday acts that turn a house into a haven. It is where my creativity comes alive, where my femininity finds expression, and where love becomes something you can touch, see, and feel.

​

So on this blog, you will find all that and more. I hope this place serves as an escape from the harsh reality, just as it is for me. I hope you will find warmth and solace in the stories and insights you will find here.

Happy reading!
