As a half Nigerian, half Dutch kid I always wanted to look like everyone else in class; I wanted to have straight blonde hair, blue eyes and wanted to wear the most popular brands. In reality all of this wasn’t possible. I had to accept myself the way that I was and deal with it. At least, that was how I thought about it. Like my mom, I always tried to make the best out of what I had. Being creative with my hair and clothes became a hobby and ended up being a true passion of mine. At my first ever job I was called: Angela with the cute afro. In High School everyone thought that I was a rich kid because I always had new clothes. Little did they know that most of it was on sale or from a thrift shop lol. And I was proud of that.
Now I want to create that confidence that I was missing about myself for others. Be you and be proud of who you are!
