She pondered whether society had dropped the ball when it came to maintaining standards of modesty and decency.
Her concern extended from young girls to role models, including pastors, whose attire has surprised and troubled her.
"Young girls, it looks like fashion is changing, but modesty is still modesty, and decency is decency. God's standards are up," Mercy Masika wrote.

She mentioned seeing pastors and role models posing in ways that she found questionable and contrary to the standards of modesty she believed were in line with biblical principles.
"I am even seeing pastors, people we respect, posing half-naked. I am like, 'What happened?' And older pastors never used to do that. Is it that there is no more decency, or has scripture changed?" she asked.

She expressed her disappointment when believers, especially in church settings, wear short dresses, deeming it so embarrassing.
"The word decency and modesty have not changed. The standards of the Bible have not changed. It is like people want to be Beyonce.

"Some pastors pose with those swimming costumes. Do you need to show the world your body? Is it necessary? Keep private things," she concluded.
Mercy Masika owns a fashion line, ‘Masiwear’ which she describes as one that encourages the wearer to feel good about themselves.
