AN INTERVIEW WITH VOL.1: BISOYE BABALOLA

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of interviewing Bisoye Babalola, the face behind Re~Angle(formally known as BloTV) the team who brought us Screened Nights and Runner a branding, PR and management consultancy. At just 23 years old she has worked with brands including Westfields, Box Park, Proppercorn and more. We caught up to discuss branding, being your own boss and what advice she'd give to those struggling to find their own path...

The Blacker The Berry.

Experimented with a different locations for this look. Couldn't decided which one I liked better so I went with both! 

I used to believe that self acceptance was a privilege, only found amongst those who were lucky enough to possess certain physical features or personal qualities. For sometime I struggled with my appearance because I felt that I couldn't assimilate into this standard of beauty. Something that can be a particular issue amongst women of colour (Hence the title of this post).

I struggled to find ways in which my dark skin and features were represented and celebrated as being beautiful in ways that these other features at that time were. Finally, it got to the point were I realised that I really couldn't do much about my physical appearance. I was forced to re define my definition of beauty so that I was able to accept myself whilst learning to own my flaws.
