MWANGA II

One of the biggest highlights of 2018 for me was collaborating with Nia The Light 
Here's some of what we got up to in Cape Town back in November

This year has been such a significant year. 21 days 
in and I decided to cut my hair. When I did that, I felt 
unstoppable and decided to heal things that were going on inside. I met my inner child, I let her pain go and I still do day by day.  I invested more time into 
myself, I graduated from University whilst building 
an online brand.  I forgave myself for things I could've 
or should’ve done better. I faced my fears. I apologized to those I needed to and forgave those I needed to.  moved into my first home. I built a stronger relationship with my parents, my brothers, my sisters and most importantly myself.
This shoot was really symbolic for me as it shows some of the different styles I possess.  I think everyday woman should be able to unlock the different aspects of themselves freely without any judgement or fear of what others will think. Let your soul shine. You do not have to be one thing or look one way. The world we live in right now has such emphasis of people being in a group and sticking to that. I’ve realized it makes people feel safe and a part of something. So let’s all focus on building that sense of safe and home within us.

Being a young woman has been full of so much growth. Most recently I have been discovering my sensual and confident side. I’ve always been very shy and an earthy kind of girl but the more I grow the more I want to discover different aspects of myself. My body is changing and the way I see myself is too. I’ve been single for a long time now and I think it’s such a liberating thing for me to grow through in my life right now because I am gaining an understanding of the kind of love I want to give to myself and the love I want to receive. I am setting my own standard because I am deserving of the love I keep trying to give to everyone else.

I’m in a space where I have an immense amount of gratitude daily for the life I live. Since I was 16 I feel like life just went by and I had all these amazing experiences but because of how jam packed it was, I didn’t get to truly live in the moment. Now that I have my own home, I spend a lot of time alone and I’ve found myself reflecting on my life and all of the things I have achieved.

Collaboration With Petronella

11/8/2015

Comments

 
As I previously mentioned, a few weeks ago I collaborated with up-and-coming blogger Petronella Risita.  


The first thing I noticed about Petronella was her enthusiasm, her smile radiated through the room.  As we began to shot I was delighted with the ease she had in front of the lens, moving smoothly and naturally from shot to shot.  
Below are some of my favourites shots.  For more, head to Petronella's Blog www.petronellarisita.com

My dream is to be successful in the Film and Fashion Industry, I have such a deep love for them both and I'm excited for my journey in getting to where I want to be in both of these Industries.

My spirit animal would definitely be a lion.  They're fierce, beautiful and pretty freaking awesome.

I'd say that colour inspires me, especially when it comes to fashion because not only does it express my personal style but it also conveys my personality and what colour palettes suit me on different occasions.  
Picture
Something I want people to know about me...Well I have a serious phobia of public toilets haha! 
Picture
Stranded on a desert Island with 3 essentials.  
First thing is lip balm, I get seriously dry lips and it's always a saver!
Second, a camera.  I feel like as a blogger I always have my camera on the go with me so I'd have it to take beautiful pictures of the Island and capture the moment.  
Third, if it's an Island then definitely a swimsuit!  I used to think I was a mermaid when I was younger because I loved being in the water so much.

It was so amazing to work with Poppy, you're so talented and I am so excited to work with you again.
