@lovyPrimzy1 And most of the times, the others don’t care. The ones that do are never satisfied

I still wonder how many women spent years hiding parts of themselves just to make other people comfortable.

@ib_Ailen The Met has dresses all on the red carpet while the other has some in the studio. Let it be red carpet vs red carpet, dresses that are movable, not shot in the studio.

@sreyon45433 @selorm__a It’s Almee’s Sketch she used. Her AI inspiration looks less in comparison.

Did you know Medusa was Black?

And that it wasn’t snakes, the Greeks had just never seen dreadlocks before.

And she didn’t really turn men into stone, they were just frozen in awe of her beauty.

Unlearn what you’ve learned. Black is beautiful.

@Ajolarr Anyone can do it. Not just kids.

Black hair grows up and out . It’s never gonna lay completely flat without extreme manipulation that often leads to traction alopecia . We gotta start embracing our own unique beauty instead of chasing Eurocentric standards that are CLEARLY hurting us .

[Itohan Ukpebor @Spanobelle]

@ItsChanzu Their true self staring back at them and they cannot believe it 😄 If only they knew true beauty comes from within and is not superficial 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Itohan Ukpebor @Spanobelle]

@realwrd Because they are yet to attain that level of confidence. They are still held captive by superficial differences which are shallow phenotypic traits that changed based on environment.

@slutdragon__ @Tt2420948694652 @blockmiplease All I see is brown beauty in that shoot. Fresh faced looking Coco 🤎 No externally applied products to alter facial appearance. A breath of fresh air, no copy cat @CocoGauff 😍❤️ 🐈💡

This is @edu_betta, accused of mismanaging hundreds of billions of naira as minister. She was relieved of her position, and the @officialEFCC has been investigating her since 2023 and has not told Nigerians anything because Nigerians don't deserve to know anything. Within the short period of being a minister, one of the things she did was own a big and beautiful petrol station in the rich Guzape neighbourhood in Abuja. The reasons they can't prosecute her is because the moneys in question were shared with very powerful people within the government.

This is Tinubu’s Nigeria.

@iamdejstoney @OreAkinde Natural, textured African hair was labeled "unruly," "barbaric," or "unprofessional," creating immense pressure to straighten it to gain access to education, jobs, and social mobility.

[Itohan Ukpebor @Spanobelle]

@iamdejstoney @OreAkinde African women were forced to conform to Eurocentric hair standards through colonialism, slavery, and systemic discrimination before many began to "embrace" (or more accurately, adopt for survival) straightened styles.

[Itohan Ukpebor @Spanobelle]

@OreAkinde It’s an insult to our forefathers who were never slaves and wore their hair beautifully. And it’s a win for those who have instilled that self hate in the hearts of many.

[Itohan Ukpebor @Spanobelle]

@OreAkinde Politically, it keeps the African woman suppressed; economically, it keeps them exploited; socially, it keeps them lacking confidence and systematically, it keeps them mentally enslaved. ❤️

[Itohan Ukpebor @Spanobelle]

@BackOutsideGrl @EllaDecember Especially, when the hair will bounce back after the gel wears out. It’s cool temporarily but in the long run, do whatever suits your style and is not damaging or self hating.

@Oyinnabdul Bless you
