Welcome to my special Lagos Baby series, where I'll be sharing special outfit posts I've shot in Nigeria! Being a Nigerian is honestly such an incredible, hilarious and beautiful experience. From the well-seasoned food, to the deep-rooted culture, Nigeria is a nation of pride and excellence, laced with inimitable energy. I wouldn't trade being a Nigerian for ANYTHING ELSE!




Lagos (being the former capital city) is where I made the decision to spend my Summer and I feel so grateful that I did so because I met a wonderful photographer named Manny, who I was blessed enough to spend a day with. 




For the past year, I've been on a very concentrated self-acceptance journey and have made a solid pact with myself to really love my body - especially my boobs, for how they hang. A lot of us women with larger boobs can definitely relate to the stigma attached to not wearing a bra if you have larger boobs - let alone 'saggy'-looking ones. Mine are both. And I'm very okay with that. Because they're mine and they're attached to an awesome, infinitely interesting being full of love, flowers and laughter: ME! If you happen to also deal with the struggle of how your boobs look - whether they're large or small, I'd just like you to know that your beauty extends far beyond your boobs and no, you won't die alone because of the posture of your boobs. Someone WILL love you! 




Redirect your focus to an area of yourself that needs a lot more love and attention, like your emotional health!
