DENIM

Often times we women are good at putting ourselves in a box, we hold everything in, and keep things contained. We contain our emotions, we contain our opinions, we contain our sexuality and worst of all we contain our dreams. I took these pictures which to some people (including me) is not risqué at all, but I admit it was out of my box- out of my self-imposed container, and I realized people – specifically guys couldn’t deal with it. They were used to the Kome that loves dresses and skirts, but not the girl in denim looking like a punk chic, clearly channeling Rihanna with the denim jacket, scarf, and hoop earrings, albeit smaller than Rihanna would have gone.

This was my coming out of the box, embracing every curve, bump, scar-everything about my body, it was a celebration of a non-skinny girl that has learnt to appreciate herself and adore her body. Learn to love yourself today, step out of your containment, and make sure you do it in something as stylish as denim.

The Independent Woman.

The independent woman is fierce
The flames that burn in her heart dance in her eyes.
She is compassionate,
Arms outstretched she lends her help.
She is unapologetic,
Shrewd in business and sound in mind, she refuses to play it down.
She is strong,
She carries the future of the nation for 9 months inside her and for 3 years in her arms.
She is authentic,
Everything is done her way, her pace and her style.
She is a multitasker,
She joggles her kids, family, career and dreams and none of them fall.
She is beautiful,
Every inch, curve or bump is beautiful.

💜💜💜💜
