''An Insider On Upcoming Make-up Artist And Food Blogger Jola Onitiju''

My name is Jola (Ola) Onitiju. I am from Lagos state, Nigeria, I was born on 3rd February and I’m a Christian. I study Law and I’m currently studying my foundation programme. I’m very goofy and I love to joke around a whole lot. I love being blunt. If you know me, you’d know this lool.

I am an upcoming makeup artist and food blogger. Makeup is my passion. Growing up I would see my sisters painting their faces and I would envy them because I didn’t have any money to buy any products. Because I was broke lool, I will take my sisters’ makeup kit and paint my face. Trust me, I looked ridiculous because their products weren’t my shade, but I kept practicing. I got my first set of basic products from one of my sisters in 2016.

I never really took makeup seriously until 2018. With constant practice, I kept getting better. Sometimes I’d do a look and it’d turn out to be shit but I never gave up and here I am now, still getting better every day. I’ve also always loved cooking. I always wanted to be a chef when I was little.

I love experimenting with different spices. Most times that goes well, other times not so bad lool and of course, presentation matters.

Balancing school work and other activities that go on in my life isn’t easy, but I try to find my way around it. I want to be so many things in the future and I believe with God, faith and hope I can achieve these things. You can do whatever you want unless you limit yourself!

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.
