I got fired from a job for posting this couple on their wedding day on my status in 2018. I captioned it “goals” 🤣. This marriage bore 3 kids in 5 years while the company that fired me hasn’t risen from its fall within the with the CEO gone on hiatus within the same 5 years.

Okay. My view about modelling changed in Grad school. And I think the main problem is actually making “modelling” the beauty social. (And I mean runway) Models are simply canvasses on which creatives display their work. It’s just a 3 dimensional representation of a sample.

This is what African Fashion Shows should look like. IMO Why? Because we’re expressive people. Our eyes, hands, hips, how we tap on our laps etc. So campaigning for just inclusion wouldn’t do. Changing the genesis of the entire culture would.

Optical Beauty is defined by high cheekbones, prominent jaws, long neck and clavicles. 34/26/38 mostly and long fingers. If you’ve read any beauty book you’d know. Clearly she’s not the ‘naija beauty standards’ which is why she’s contesting globally and not Miss Anambra State.

I think it’s rude to adopt someone’s ultimate bridal element and put them on your bridesmaids. When you borrow a material from someone’s culture you use them in the same capacity the originals do. You don’t downgrade, you elevate. That is what culture appreciation is about.
