“Exclusive Interview With Beauty Queen El Aider Meriem”

Hi, I’m El Aider Meriem and I’m 20.I’m from Morocco but moved a lot. I have been in France, Mauritania, Gabon,Niger and now I’m at Montreal for studies.

I study International relations and political sciences because I want to change things in my country and in Africa. I think I can do it because of my travels and my strong relation to this continent thanks to my moves and travels. I want my future kids to grow up in Africa but in a better life quality. I am also interested in business, specially the real estate sector.

I’m also in love with luxurious brands, fashion, and specially beauty. I want to begin a blog about beauty and makeup and specially help any woman to love herself. I wasn’t that interested in beauty, pictures and modelling, it all stars a year ago ,when a famous designer and some professional photographers told me that I have some potential and I’ve fell in love with this world and began to love myself .

I also want to work more about self love and share my feelings about it because I have been harassed because of my body ( I was very skinny) and specially my face, I had a big nose and I wanted a surgery so bad. But couple of years after, I decided to love my insecurities and keep it natural.

I’m someone who laughs everyday, I’m always in a good mood and trying to enjoy everyday in life. I’m always interested in having new relations, new friends , specially girls.I’m always spreading love and confidence but sometimes I can be very silly.

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.

What Do Older Generations Misunderstand About Teenagers Today?

What stereotypes about teenagers do the adults you know seem to hold? How does the media portray people your age — and what, in your opinion, do they get wrong? What do you wish you could explain to adults in general to dispel some of these beliefs? In “ Taking Away the Phones Won’t Solve Our Teenagers’ Problems ,” a psychology professor writes about rising levels of anxiety and stress: Teenagers are struggling with anxiety more than any other problem, and perhaps more than ever before.

Across most types of anxiety runs a common thread — difficulty coping with feelings of uncertainty: something today’s teenagers have more than their fair share of. They have uncertain economic lives: Unlike previous generations, they can anticipate a worse economic future than their parents. They’ve also grown up with uncertain truths and unre
