Breaking barriers

I have always believed there is beauty in diversity, we can't all have flawless skin, perfect height, size 5 hips but we can all be beautiful in our own ways.

This year's New York fashion week was a mix of colour, fun, style and everything else the fashion week is all about. In the midst of all the new models coming up, new designs:good and bad came the real show stoppers, one of Carrie Hammer's original designs was worn on the runway by Jamie Brewer the first model with Down's syndrome to walk the runway. Looking beautiful and inspiring the Actress and now model took my breath away.

Then my personal queen also added more colour to the already eventful fashion week, Winnie Harlow real name Chantelle Brown-Young is a 20 years old Canadian with a very rare Skin condition called vitiligo. She walked the runway and made our hearts skip a few beats. She has been called Zebra, Cow and bullied but here she blossoms like a new flower giving us a taste of what could be. "Bye bye perfect beauty, Hey Artwork of Grace". News has it that Diesel has signed her on and there's gist of another big deal coming her way.

Let nothing stop you from dreaming or wanting. Listen to Nico and Vinz's am I wrong? once a day, dream, create, work towards your goal and pray. That's the recipe for a fulfilled life.
Have a lovely day.

SELF(The Journey to being truly Altruistic).

So one night last week while trying desperately to keep myself awake, I had a pep talk with myself (more like a TED talk, because I was there acting like there was a live audience in front of me and being so Zen). Well i n my usual Pep/TED talk fashion I was mouthing the words ever so peacefully, a skill I wish I have mastered in life , you see I fancy a Zen outlook, an understanding personality and a calm voice but like most things I fancy these are all still a work in progress, but you can say I am working . In like manner my talk focused on something I am also working to be, put quite simply “A genuinely Altruistic Person”. Altruistic (simply meaning unselfish ) , I am trying my best in all ways to be as unselfish as possible. So a part from trying to stay awake this started from hearing/seeing the phrase “focus on your own happiness” a lot more in the pa...

HEY!!! QUEENS

Personally I'm enjoying this "empowered and liberated"/"I'm more than my body" power tussle women are engaging in. I mean in one breathe we mention how we're empowered, liberated, not bound by traditional norms and cultures so we're free to flaunt our bodies, keyword "our" specifically to remind the men not to advise us on modesty. Then as soon as men start to objectify women and talk about how the ass looks perfect to be tapped, we jump on the train of " I am more than a body". Sis for the life of me I don't get us. What are we on about? First of all if you're a model, Onlyfans star, porn actress (and other similar careers), body activist, artiste, actress I totally understand why your full breast/ass is outside. The others though, WHAT IN THE BEJESUS HELL IS THAT? Queens forget the whole liberation talk let's face it, we have the stage. We can be out here talking about fighting domestic violence among...

After the break up.

Leaving a relationship is just as hard as entering one, especially when it's the other party that wants out. When we find ourselves in such situations we are at a complete loss, not too worry though let's go through the stages together and learn how to deal with it. First it's okay to brood, you can think about it. Think of what went wrong and what you did to contribute to the break up. The problem starts only when you start putting more blame on yourself than your partner. Secondly you are free to be emotionally down. ..it doesn't mean you are weak. For a while you might miss your partner and just wish to patch things up, this feelings are normal but never go through with it.Let the hurt in but don't try to get back with your ex, you'ld only find yourself back where you started. Whenever you feel like running back into his/her arms surround yourself with friends and/or other activities. Yea we know you can be friends with you...
