Hi! I'm Yuri Yabi
I love to capture moments, people and places. Having spent around half my life in East-Africa and the rest in Europe, I was often shocked how other people thought life on the continent is. So I created this blog, to show the world, how beautiful the motherland is and play my part in reshaping the narrative of Africa.
INSPIRATION
Africa can be so incredibly inspiring...
ROOTS
As Western influence becomes more and more prominent in Africa, celebrating heritage and roots is increasingly vital.
AFRICA
Elephant Grass was created to positively highlight the vibrant culture and colorful traditions of the motherland throughout the world.
STORIES
This blog is my vehicle to share all the compelling things that I hold so dear about Africa with you.
