"Meet Eghosa Ohuoba"

Hi, I’m Eghosa Desiree Ohuoba. I’m a 17 year old Edo girl. I’m currently studying Business Management at Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada. I was born in Dublin, Ireland on the 13th of January, 2001

My hobbies are writing, reading, dancing and watching old Hollywood and Nollywood movies and documentaries. I also have a special love for music especially since I both sing and play the clarinet. I’ve always loved beauty and fashion and I’m very involved but I’m more passionate about things that involve women as a gender and my home country. I just opened both an Instagram and Twitter page called @thenigerianmilennial and @thenigmilennial respectively, which helps to keep people my age informed about problems affecting our country and helping to uphold Nigerian pride, so you guys should follow and support!

I call myself a feminist because I believe in the equality of men and women and the empowerment and protection of women and their interests. I would love to see younger people in places of power in Nigeria so they can move Nigeria forward with new innovations and ideas. I’m not sure if I want to be a politician or a full-on activist in future but I do know I want to impact my country and the world in many ways to make it a better place.

My biggest inspirations are my parents because through them I’ve seen what hard work truly is and I’ve seen it pay off. Everything I do or want to do I always make sure that it will make them, my sister and my whole family proud.

Get to Know Sudanese Model Nyakim Gatwech, "The Queen of Dark"

Gatwech was born in South Sudan at a time when the African country was in the throes of a brutal civil war.

"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.
