I’m stylish now

.Reading time 6 minutes.

I was trying to figure out a way to introduce this topic because its technically so left field for me. You would think fashion is just that, I mean how hard can wearing clothes be? its one of the basic tasks hat you learn as a toddler. Except its not that easy, especially to a young, plus size woman in a heavily cultural and religious setting. If you though people have opinions on what you chose to wear, now imagine being a fat, Christian, African woman, you really have to multiply that by a factor which in my estimation has to be greater than 5.

Power breakfast?

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

This sounds like the title of a breakfast show or better yet.. A nutritious breakfast recipe… Except its been a minute since I shot food and doing those shots is difficult…

But something that we can all agree on is that date nights take many forms… Whether its a picnic or grabbing an early breakfast before work. Sometimes this also double up as some serious business meetings too.

B and I had a breakfast run a few weeks ago… Because we had some serious business to discuss (i.e shoot to discuss) Was a fun way to connect early in the morning. Here is a little outfit from that day.

Of Silhouettes and selflove

.Reading time 4 minutes.

I have a love hate relationship with the mirror. As a matter of fact, before my Natural Hair Journey, I never really used a mirror in my life. Mirrors to me were (kinda are) those annoying things that just had to remind you that you had a million and one spots on your face and would quickly reduce your self confidence level to -66%. So I generally avoided them. I never even looked at my reflection in the many glass-coated buildings in town, and whenever I did, the sight of my “fat” legs would quickly remind me why I never liked mirrors.
