I believe that individuality comes from within

•Copying people doesn’t allow you to express yourself. Some adults believe by dictating to children what they deem appropriate will encourage them to transform into “responsible young adults”. Freedom to dress and show individuality is vital

•Unfortunately in Nigeria you don’t have the privilege, the freedom to express yourself because of cultural or religious beliefs. Dressing similar to people due to pure insecurity casts a shadow on the true you

•Love yourself because beauty is being comfortable in your own skin and being proud of who you are as a person . .

•Dressing different from the social normalities is what creates a unique society, a unique individual and I strongly believe style comes with comfort and acceptance

All about the power of what you wear and the influence you make.

"Meet Sultana Nazif"

My name is Sultana Nazif, I am 17 years old. I was born in December (best month of the year) I loveee reading books and am also a planner I always like to be organised. The apps on my phone are arranged from darker colours to lighter colours. I am studying to become an Engineer InshaAllah. I have six younger siblings I hate when things don’t go my way and i like being in control. I try my best to be nice to everyone I also love listening to music I am so Indecisive 😂. I think African teenagers nowadays are very diverse with their sense of style and fashion statements, both girls and boys! Everyone should be able to dress how ever they want to and should feel free of being judged. For what they wear because at the end of the day you only have to please yourself. Do you and stay true to you because there are gonna be haters anyway🤪

"Meet Beauty Queen Imani Shagari"

I’m Imani Shagari , a student reading Architecture and I’m one of twenty other children. Coming from a big family has shown me how important supporting other people can be to their growth. I constantly live by the quote “Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.” It motivates me to help and support people without feeling afraid or threatened by their growth. Instead it helps me to see the best in people and that everyone has their own gifts , we just need each other to help show those gifts. As a young black girl, I would encourage other girls just like me to love themselves and also believe that they are beautiful without the beauty standards set up by society and social media.

Are Your Boobs Normal? We Asked An Expert

Chances are, the answer is yes — you have normal boobs! Luckily, most seemingly ~weird~ things about your boobs are totally fine.

(Same goes for your nipples !) So for the most part, your boobs are probably fine. But if you still have questions about what is and isn't normal (and we understand why you would), we have answers. We chatted with Dr. Natasha Bhuyan , family physician at One Medical , about everything you've been wondering about your boobs. "It's human nature to assume the worst," says Dr. Bhuyan. "But the reality is that breast changes are just a normal part of the human body." You have sore boobs Dr. Bhuyan says soreness of the breasts is one of her female patients' most common concerns. But before you complete...
