5 fashion tricks to boost your attraction level
It is no longer news that some people are usually attracted to others based on how well they appeal to their minds. The attraction can be physical, emotional, sapiosexual or sexual in nature. But I will like to talk to you about how well you can kit up physically and still attract the right partner. First, let me start by saying that there is no perfect person out there for you. But there are people who fit your ideal description of what you want in a man. MR Right is simply a high-value man who knows what he wants, takes responsibility for his life and is on a journey to building great relationships too. A lot of ladies are attracted to well-fitted men, with broad shoulders, and great fashion sense. If you want this type of man, it is not a bad idea, but you should understand that such men would want a classy attractive woman too. That means you should look as classy as he would look too. If you are not conscious about how you look, you may miss out on important opportunities in other areas of your life. Trust me, some people do not have the patience to know your content, they are merely moved by sight except they have an opportunity of being around you to see what else you can offer. So packaging matters a lot. First impression is good, but it doesn’t have to be the final say but what about making sure your first impression is likable? Let me share with you 5 areas to pay attention to look more attractive and classy to Mr. Right. 1. KNOW YOUR BODY TYPE Should I confess to you? I just found out about my body type last year in 2018. While growing up, someone once told me that I had a male figure and I felt bad about it. And then later, I began to compare my body with others. I wondered why I had broad shoulders and a small waist. Most jackets and tops I wanted never fit me and I wasn’t conscious of the style I could blend so I simply copied the trend and close friend’s style. I found out about body types in a learning class and I was like wow! I didn’t know that I had been buying the wrong dresses. That could be you too. You should not wear a dress because it fits another person, you should be more concerned about how well it will fit you too. Learn about your body type and wear what fits you. Other types of body types are the apple, pear, inverted triangle body types, and so much more. Now that I know, I buy my dresses strategically. So appreciate your body type, wear what fits you and flaunt well with a great style. 2. DO SKIN CARE ROUTINE Gone are the days where skincare used to be expensive. You can actually do some organic regimen by watching them on YOUTUBE. Not all skin care routine can fit your skin type so you may need to talk to a skin expert to know which suit your skin. A clear and bright skin adds more to your beauty plus eating good food, fruits, and plenty of water makes perfect sense to look good. 3. YOUR SMILE AND BODY POSTURE What is the point of having beautiful skin and body if you cannot smile and develop a good posture? A lot of times, men are attracted to your smile and that can be the signal they need to know you are approachable. If you are always keeping a straight face, you may have fewer people socializing with you. So put on some smile and carry yourself well. 4. ACCESSORIES Do you know there is power in using a touch of accessories? It can range from neck pieces, wristwatches, bangles, sunglasses, hats, scarf, statement bag, etc. it is all about adding a touch to your style and making a statement with it. How well do you invest in accessories? 5. MAKE UP There is something about adding a touch to your face. It makes you look more natural. It doesn’t mean you cannot be a team natural but lighten up your face and that may be the difference you need. When you start paying attention to how you look, you will be surprised at the kinds of attention you will get. I know work schedule can be tight and you have no time, but you can use your mobile phone to do the necessary research and update yourself. What will you start doing differently?
What went down at Face Africa’s Annual WASH Gala – March 19′
Rewriting The Story of Africa through water. – Adebola Williams The narrative of Africa is changing, and (we) the offspring are joining hands in numbers, working towards a better tomorrow for generations to come. Africa has and always will be one of the richest places in the world with resources that can build many nations, nurture and develop talent in various sectors of life and most importantly provide clean water systems in every home and community. Having clean water may seem like the most accessible thing that everyone should have in 2019, but unfortunately, it is a struggle that millions of people are still facing. Like any math problem, the goal is to find the answer by solving an equation. Saran Kaba Jones’s answer to contaminated water in Africa is creating access to clean water systems for everyday people through FACE Africa. Saturdays are usually for Aso-Ebi, headwraps tied in perfect origami style coupled with highlights, contour, and lashes that completes the ultimate glam. Well, this Saturday was different. The African culture graced Guastavino’s with couture dresses, hand-stitched suits and ties made from fine textiles for the most prestigious event of the year, FACE Africa annual WASH GALA. The WASH GALA was an evening that captured and honored voices that want to and are changing the narrative of what home really looks like and their trials and tribulations in home improvement. FACE Africa’s keen eye to detail and prestige was felt from the moment people walked up to the stairs and through the doors of Guastavino’s. Africa is home when you invest your mind and soul the journey is built brick by brick with our hands and not by the colonizers. FACE Africa’s journey to supply clean water started 10 years ago and of course, it was no easy task raising hundreds of dollars in the beginning to now raising millions in its 10th year. There is power when we join forces to enhance our resources. Aqua blue, forest green, these colors illuminated the entire venue creating the vibe of taking in the fresh air that trees provide and drinking crisp water through clean water. What a feeling. This year’s WASH GALA honorees are Didier Drogba, Nomzamo Mbatha, Mr. Eazi, and Bozoma Saint John. Nomzamo Mbatha Rising Star Honoree Nomzamo Mbatha acceptance speech was filled with cries, laughter and the room responded with a standing ovation. “The credit and the bragging is so different nowadays. It is not about what designers you have, or the different houses you may have across the world. It is how many people that are on your payroll, and how many organizations we have started to make sure that the blood of our ancestors that were used as fertilization to grow the natural resource, and that the natural resource that we have as the African continent is not just the resources as gold or diamonds, it is us. Those that are scattered across the world”. Nomzamo told her story in a room that felt like home because home is where her heart lives. We all come from different sectors of the continent, some experiences different from others but we share a common fight, developing Africa. Adebola Williams Adebola Williams CEO of RED Media and WASH Gala Co-Chair touched on many successes on the continent such as three major banks in Nigeria having women as chairman and President Sirleaf paving the way for women in politics. But still, many women face challenges and are slowed down by fetching water when this energy can be put to good use by doing other things in society. Williams continued by shedding light on new millennial problems in the world. Back-aches and hands aching him from long texting, but Africa is still dealing with about two million water-related diseases. Bozoma Saint John A room full of advocacy, people who want to do better for our continent. We were reminded about the importance of voice by Bozoma Saint John CMO at Endeavor and WASH Gala Voice of Change Recipient. “Once you have been silent, you have been forgotten, it is important to use our voices to change the narrative”. Bozoma demonstrated what it meant to lead by example and using her voice for change and impact by sharing the stage and honorable moment with her daughter Lael Saint John. Didier Drogba Like the good old saying “If not us then who” exuded the room by Didier Drogba who was WASH Gala Humanitarian recipient. Drogba was unable to attend the gala in person due to an emergency in Côte d’Ivoire but left us with a beautiful video message. “It is our responsibility to bring awareness and change in Africa. Water is life, so invest in clean water for the community,” he said Caroline Wanga Caroline Wanga, Vice President of Human Resources at Target Corporation and WASH Gala 2019 keynote speaker commended all attendees in the room and noted that “Guastavino’s ain’t neva have these many Africans in here before”. For those that know the upper east side of New York City, the upper class and diplomats fill the area where the average rent is $2500 – $3000 a month, just imagine how much hosting an event on that side of town would be. Wanga key points were the importance buying and labor market, “ Africa Immigrants are the answer to developing our nation, rent to pay, Louboutin’s to wear, outfits to make, either way, someone somewhere does not have clean water”. Wanga also implored everyone in the room to “Get this Shmoney” and invest in Africa. Every day is another opportunity to be better and do better, technology has increased the number of collaborations between people and spreading awareness to causes at a fast pace. I can just imagine the impact and change that will occur between now and five years with FACE Africa clean water initiative. We are definitely on our way to a clean and thirst quenching society.

Investing in African Women Entrepreneurs: Highlights from Social Capital Markets (SOCAP18)
There is an immense opportunity for economic growth and social impact by investing in Africa women According to McKinsey, the female economy is the world’s largest emerging market, with the potential to add $12 trillion to global GDP by 2025. Furthermore, according to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rate of female entrepreneurship globally, with approximately 26% of female adults engaged in entrepreneurial activity. Ghana is producing more female entrepreneurs than any other country, with 46% of businesses being owned by women. However, due to several gender-specific challenges, the African Development Bank estimates a $20B financing gap for African women causing the growth of these businesses to suffer. This year’s annual Social Capital Markets (SOCAP18) Conference, a convening for over 4,000 actors in the development, social entrepreneurship, and impact investors held in San Francisco, discussed the importance of driving investment capital towards social good. Many actors came together to advocate for a greater African presence at this event, as a result, SOCAP18 invested in bringing on partners, such as my company Baobab Consulting, to ensure that African voices were heard and received the appropriate business and strategy advice to make the most out of the conference. Not only was Africa a focus this year, but SOCAP also picked Gender and Markets as a theme with its own track. The community has discussed these issues long before the #MeToo movement, but this year, an entire track was dedicated to hearing from women entrepreneurs, investors and other actors actively working to push the agenda to drive investments to women. To combine these two themes, I organized a panel called “Women’s Entrepreneurship in Africa: The Key to Sustainable Development.” We had two female entrepreneurs, one male, and one female investor, all originating from the continent. The discussion focused on explaining the landscape for African female entrepreneurs and encouraged the audience to value and respect the inputs of women as they build their investment and social impact portfolios. Both Margaret Nyamumbo, Founder of Kahawa1893, and Salem Afangideh, Founder of Thrive African Girl, gave their perspectives as female entrepreneurs. They highlighted the need to value local talent, compensate African women for their expertise, and spread the right narrative to represent them. Salem highlighted that so often, investors will expect the entrepreneur to educate about the African context, but they should be doing their own due diligence to establish mutual respect and build trust. Margaret highlighted that the way in which people are represented matters, and that African women entrepreneurs must build a positive narrative surrounding their work and the opportunities they are creating. James Thuch Madhier, Founder and CEO of the Rainmaker Enterprise, and the only male represented on the panel, told stories of his life as a refugee in South Sudan. “My mother brought me up during the war and we survived because she was entrepreneurial. My entire female ancestry were great leaders so I am proof of the value of African women,” he said. At SOCAP, James was one of the many men present who embodies the #HeforShe mentality, and it is clear women entrepreneurs do have allies, even in a competitive funding ecosystem. A highlight that sticks out comes from Pauline Mbayah, an impact investor and Director, Strategy and Partnerships at the African Enterprise Challenge Fund based in Nairobi. She advised the audience that, “The continent has hope, the continent is on the move, and opportunity exists. We ask [foreign] investors to work with people on the ground to make new opportunities, and match-make your money to opportunities that already exist.” Another takeaway from her is that building smart partnerships with women entrepreneurs on the ground is the best way to invest your money and receive both financial and social returns. Beyond the panel, SOCAP also offered scholarships for African women entrepreneurs to attend the conference. There was an array of talented women, from Ivy Appiah from Ghana, who makes high quality black soap products which are sold across Ghana and Nigeria, to Charlotte Magayi, Co-Founder of Mukuru Clean Stoves, which enables young mothers from low-income households to keep their children safe, save on fuel consumption, and reduce household air pollution in urban slums. As women entrepreneurs, we face a different set of challenges that our male counterparts will never have to face. But one takeaway from SOCAP is that there is a support system seeking to empower women, especially those from Africa, to attract investment and scale their businesses. I look forward to pushing forward their stories and carving spaces across the world to showcase them. Got an article you’d like to share with us? Click here.
Tabitha Wambui: Support For Women In Sports Has To Start With Me
Being a female referee in male-oriented sports such as football is not something you hear of often. Tabitha Wambui, a renowned Kenyan referee and current Guinness Made of Black ambassador is one of the few yet talented African women taking on this position with poise and prowess. Tabitha who is a mother of two and an advocate for women empowerment, tells a story of sheer determination and consistency that got her the job she has always dreamed of. Tell us about your love of football. When did you first get interested in the sport? I started playing football just for fun while I was still in primary school. I’m an only child and I was such a tomboy, I would play football a lot with my uncles. Upon joining high school, I played for the school team for a short while and then joined the Mathare Youth team and played for them until I completed high school. [bctt tweet=”People believed a woman could not officiate a football game as the sport is considered to be a man’s game. I wanted to prove them wrong – Tabitha Wambui ” username=”SheLeadsAfrica”] What brought about the decision to become a football referee? I would watch a lot of football after high school and once saw a woman officiating in the Kenya Premier league as an assistant referee. Seeing her out there doing something so different yet so intriguing made me say to myself – if she can do it, why can’t I? That’s when I made up my mind to try it out. I took courses in 2004 on being a referee and after completing them all the way to the class 1 level, I became a Fifa Referee. If I wasn’t a referee now, I would have been an athlete because I’ve loved sports my whole life. What is the biggest misconception people have about your job? For over a decade, people believed a woman could not officiate a football game as the sport is considered to be a man’s game. I wanted to prove them wrong. I believe that here in Kenya, it is the women’s football team that will get us into the world cup before the male team. We have already made it to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) so we are well on our way there. How has the journey been so far as the new Made of Black Guinness Ambassador? It has been a wonderful journey. It has made a lot of people aware of my job and me as an individual. I do my best as a role model of the Guinness brand, I am grateful that after 17 years of referring to football games, I am being appreciated by a huge enterprise such as this one. They have helped expose my position in the football world and my journey to who I am today and this, in turn, has reached a lot of women out there and given them the push they need to get out there to pursue their passion. What challenges have you faced in your journey and how did you overcome them? During my first match as a referee for the Kenya Premier League (KPL), the Gor Mahia and AFC teams had thousands of fans fill the stadium. As I walked out on to the pitch, people were not looking at me as a referee but as a woman. That intimidated me a bit but as soon as the game started, I did what I was there to do – my job and people really appreciated it once the match was over and was not downplaying my position as a female referee. Getting my family to support me on this journey was not easy at first, they didn’t want me to go down this road. They believed that football is a hooligan’s game but I had to make them understand that this is what I wanted to do. Now they are fully on board and have seen how impactful this position has been not only to me but to those around me as well. [bctt tweet=”What are you doing to help support other girls and women in sports? – Tabitha Wambui” username=”SheLeadsAfrica”] How can Kenya and its society support more women and girls in sports? The most important thing is to support them and encourage them, never discourage them. If I did what my parents and friends told me I should be, I would have never become the referee I am today. It also has to start within ourselves, what are you doing to help support other girls and women in sports? I train with a small group of women twice every week. I make sure to call them on training days to remind them of our sessions – it has to start with me, then it goes to the community and then it will reach the higher authority like the government. If we wait for the government to provide that support we will not get where we want to go. When I started this journey to become a referee, there were only two of us in the game, now there are over 50 women working towards this same goal. Who are your top 3 role models? My mother. She is the one who made me the woman I am today. Whenever I had a game or any issue to do with my work I would speak to her and she encourages me to keep going. The first lady I ever saw officiating a match – Margaret Omondi, she is now a physical instructor. She is the only person in the football industry that I call and share my highs and lows with in relation to football. Internationally – Thierry Henry. I really loved Thierry and looked up to him even before I got the chance to meet him. I’m not an arsenal fan but whenever he would play I would always watch, he is an inspiration to me. As a mother
