This week, we host Media IT girl and luxury lover Toke Makinwa, Influencer and self-proclaimed confidence Queen Achieng Agutu and Beauty Boss and connoisseur of lavish living Chioma Ikokwu to a thought-provoking conversation on Normalizing Self-love, Confidence and Luxury Living.
It’s 2021, why is there still a stigma around women, especially Black women living in luxury? Africa is abuzz with strong, successful women, doing great things both on and outside the continent. But when it comes to partaking in luxury, there seems to be a sense of shame or guilt.
In this conversation, we will break down the negative stereotypes of #BlackWomeninLuxury and discuss what we can do as a community to overcome them. .
