  • Much love to @sneakerness for having me!! | [Gifted] Fun fact: I used to be a trainer/sneaker collector. I had so many pairs, before the whole reselling for thousands became a thing (wish I would have kept a few pairs if I knew it would develop into this🤔😜) I was a store manager at the first @footasylum 2009 in London when my collection really started and I learnt about the real sneaker culture. Today I'm rocking the Air Max 2 Light X @atmosnyc pairs. Atmos was the first American sneaker store I went into when I visited NYC for my 21st birthday,over 10years ago!! I have always loved different looking footwear and these just incorporated everything in one!! That is why I love sneakers...I have a story for ever pair I own😁 to me it's like collecting wearable art. #Sneakerness reminded me of one of my true passions and loves!

  • Unlearn who taught you there was something wrong with you because perfection doesn't exist, especially on social media aka the land of filters. This isn't real life Don't let the filters and pretty pictures fool you!! No one knows what people are really going through behind the perfected smiles and eyebrows. Check in with reality and ask yourself.... Are the accounts I follow inspiring me? Are the images I look at making me feel good about myself? Does social media make me happy? If not, it's time to make some changes. Your mental health comes first and should be your main priority! 💚 _ _ _ HELP AND SUPPORT Samaritans: If you need someone to talk to then Samaritans are available on 116 123 (UK) for free, 24/7.

  • It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and this year's point of focus is Body Image - how we feel and think about our bodies. I had the amazing opportunity to visit Parliament today to hear about all of the plans to help improve our mental health and the way social media is controlled. As a social media Influencer I believe we are hugely responsible for being as open and honest with our audiences as we can believe we are INFLUENCERS... people of influence I encourage everyone to visit @mentalhealthfoundation website and read the research document. It is full of amazing statistics that may open your mind to what we are dealing with in today's climate. _ _ _ Dress: @prettylittlething [gifted] _ _ _ #UKafrolista #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #mentalhealth #bodyimage #BeBodyKind #selfconfidence #selflove #effyourbeautystandards #beauty #bblogger #beautyblogger #beautyinfluencer

  • I am happy to announce I am a part of this year's @mentalhealthfoundation #BeBodyKind campaign for Mental Health Awareness Week focusing on Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies. 💚 I was asked to find an image that represents a time when I felt comfortable within my skin. I came across this photo of me in Cyprus on my first influencer trip with ORS in 2016. I remember going through the goody bag and coming across this swimsuit. I was thinking to myself..erm who is this for? It isn't going to fit me, don't they know I'm a bigger girl? ... so I tried it on. I was pleasantly surprised with how it fit my body and hugged my curves. I felt so hot!! (you couldn't tell me nothing!!😜) Isn't it amazing how we can get in our own ways sometimes when it comes to our body image. If I didn't try on that swimsuit, I would have never felt great about myself. I would have missed out on an opportunity to take some amazing photos that to this day give me that feeling whenever I look at them. Its easy for me to say, just love yourself and you will be fine, but it isn't realistic. Learn to find ways that make situations easier for yourself. In situations where you feel less than, or not good enough, figure out a different way. Distract yourself if you have to with things you enjoy. I like to listen to my favourite music, watch something that makes me laugh or even just chill and relax. I encourage you this #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek to create a healthier and better body image for yourself. It is possible, you just have to trust yourself and give yourself permission to be. There isn't a right or wrong way to look, you are who you are and meant to be. Stop comparing yourself to others because you aren't them and never will be. Embrace you!! 💚 _ _ _ Hosted by @mentalhealthfoundation, #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek will take place from 13-19 May. The theme for 2019 is Body Image – how we think and feel about our bodies. Body image issues can affect all of us at any age. During the week @mentalhealthfoundation will be publishing brand new research, campaigning for change and publishing practical tools. Join the #BeBodyKind movement.

  • I believe in order for things to change you have to be the change. @iammaasante is just that.💖 I had the pleasure of meeting Amma Asante [writer/director of Belle,United Kingdom...check her credentials] last year at a private screening of @wherehandstouch and learnt she was a fan of my work...to then learn I had been a fan of hers without knowing her story,...which when I found out her journey within the industry made me more of a fan. I am completely honoured to have hosted this screening and Q&A of #WhereHandsTouch because it was amazing to see the range of people who attended,older and young. To me that is inspiring and so powerful that from a thought things can happen and hopefully move forward to change. I encourage everyone to see this film,trust me you will learn something you didn't know! 💖 _ _ _ Dress: @boohoo [gifted] _ _ _ #UKafrolista #wherehandstouch #screening #film #filmfun #filmscreening #lifestyle #life #love #boohoo #boohoobabes
