“Meet Poet/Blogger & Influencer Jamie-Lee Ray”

Hi there ! I am Jamie-Lee Ray. I am a Sagittarius baby. Born and raised in KZN. Currently situated in Johannesburg. I am a 96 baby , currently 22 years old. I am mixed race , having a white mother and a coloured father.

Growing up mixed race was quite hard , walking the halls of school having people ask you “What are you” haha. It definitely took me quite awhile to appreciate the beauty of my skin! But I wouldn’t change it for the world.

My interests are music and dancing. These have been my passions ever since I could walk. I am a South African artist, I dropped my first single titled Baby last year. ( You can get it on most streaming platforms) .

I am also a social media brand ambassador/influencer aswell as a poet/blogger ( you can find my poems on my instagram page @jamielee_ray) .

I would love to influence others by inspiring them to believe in themselves and in their originality. Being different is beautiful and in a world where originality is so far gone, keeping the core of who you are is soo important.

Embrace who you are! Enjoy each day as it comes. We not promised tomorrow! Love who God has created you to be ! Love and light always .

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.
