If you want an instant ego boost as a Somali girl, go to a black hair salon lmaoWalahi I never feel so gassed than when I go to a hair salonthey compliment my hair all the time and talk about how easy it is. (Mashallah)
It is true. Probably not a majority but many people have it. No need to hate.
this is france lol they get so excited when someone asks if they’re somali and none of the look like us, they look more Tanzanian or have a smaller nose
that's simply not true, at least if you are speaking on nation level, maybe some in the diaspora, or banadiir. But on the nation level, we aren't, and certainly we don't look how we look because of that as she claimed.
My dyslexia ass read it as "How to Conquer a wide nose"
The moment they use their beauty representations is when they have officially emancipated themselves from the shackles of colonialism. They have their local beauties. Speaking of West Africans, how come they focus on Iman, the model, rather than the Senegalese Sadiya Gueye?This is so true and the funniest thing is that whenever I click on their profile pic, I’m like where is the Somali/Ethiopian?
You never ever see the opposite.
I’ve noticed it whenever I see Europeans or Asians clowning sub saharan bantus for how ugly they are and their woman they always say but what about horn Africans acting like we’re the same
"And I personally do not date, unambiguous, monoracial dark skin black men either"
The way she said it fast like copy-pasted just came off as an insult.I'm insulted on behalf of the black kings that fit the description.
By the way, is "ambiguous" a preference now? The mean is not enough for her.
I'm suddenly reminded of that Katt Williams clip about how Jonathan Majors was being aggressively pushed as handsome despite many eyes collectively wincing at the thought.
Post your comment here. We'd love to see.
If it occurs in such high frequency to be associated with them. And where people won't identify you as looking Somali if you deviate too much from that, then that speaks volumes. I think you are being a bit facetious.
Damn, he went at him. I think any actor automatically is viewed as good-looking. It could be a marketing thing mixed with social contagion. I would not say that the Majors guy is ugly though. Maybe I am biased because I think the guys acting was good before they dropped him.
Going on a marketing blitz to shop him around like he's the next Denzel was a bit much. I won't fault the guy for his appearance, as I find that cruel and out-of-touch, but I think he's unconventional compared to what is normally pushed by the Hollywood machine. His acting chops are decent, though.
To late I run yt channel.
His a weirdo, he could have claimed self-defense but was adamant he didn't hit her, you can see he shoved her.
It brings views money. They want to influence thought and plant the seed so people are susceptible to the positive side, which can edge further toward better revenue. Marketing and brand creation have taken a new level.
That woman was crazy. She ran after him for blocks. That is not a victim. That is a scary-ass predator that is doing the hunting.
Walahi idk what’s up with Somali ppl calling our beautiful curls ‘Timo adeg’ when most ppl wish they had our type of hair. Habesha ppl show off their curls so much and we just hide them
They shouldn't have to flood us with imagery to brainwash us into believing they are pleasing to the eye. Granted, I get some people are visually an acquired taste like kombucha. There is a word in French. It's "jolie laide." It essentially means good-looking and ugly.
Allahumma baarik, I only meant to say it is kinda disingenous to paint it as the standard Somali look. I know many with large noses and loose hair, small noses and rougher hair, etc. There is definitely a variety,
Eh, maybe it's the place I live. C'est la vie.
Facts sis we only uplift one hair type (wavy timo jileec) when even those of us with tighter curls have really nice hair.Walahi idk what’s up with Somali ppl calling our beautiful curls ‘Timo adeg’ when most ppl wish they had our type of hair. Habesha ppl show off their curls so much and we just hide them
The standard look implies it is the mean. People assume what I described is the quintessential Somali.
