Power Is Her Art Form

Art is a medium for self-expression. It comes in different forms—songs, poetry, dance, graffiti, and more. To commemorate International Women’s Day, we want to showcase three women in MTV Shuga who used art to express social issues and their own emotions. It wasn’t easy, but they didn’t back down, and we respect them for that!

 

Frances
[TRIGGER WARNING: The following section recounts a rape incident and the process of disclosure of  incident]

 

In season four of Shuga Naija, Frances went to a club with her friends but was drugged, mistakenly left behind, and raped. The disheartening aftermath crippled her, she could barely tell her friends or her mother; until her school’s showcase. When it was her turn, she sat down and recited a poem describing her rape and how it affected her while dancers dramatized the events behind her. Her inner strength shone through her tears at the end of her performance.

Bongi

In season one of Shuga Down South, Bongi was happy to reunite with her childhood friend, Reggie. Yet, she couldn’t help but notice changes in his mood. Reggie’s father didn’t approve of him pursuing art and Reggie felt like no one would accept him for secretly being gay. To encourage her friend, Bongi wrote and performed a song to Reggie reminding him of his worth. To watch her performance of “Good Enough” click here.

Elsie

Elsie is an avid vlogger on Shuga Babi. She mostly records content around her or her friends dancing, but also uses her platform for important health messaging like safe sex. After she and Mateo had unprotected sex, she went straight to her camera to inform her viewers not to do what she did but use a condom and get tested. This sort of content has a great effect and eventually made Mateo check his HIV status as well.

We applaud these women for their creativity, transparency, and boldness.

Art is a powerful tool, what will you create?

Losing cryptocurrency like Bitcoin can be a devastating experience, especially when it involves a large sum of money. I went through this nightmare myself when I accidentally deleted the wallet file containing 10,000 bitcoins from my computer. At the time, the coins were worth several hundred thousand dollars, representing years of mining rewards and investment gains. After frantically searching through old hard drives to no avail, I felt helpless and angry at myself for not having a proper backup. Just when I had given up all hope, A friend told me about Trust Geeks Hack Expert, a little-known crypto recovery service that specialized in retrieving lost cryptocurrency wallets. I was skeptical that they could salvage my wallet after all this time, but I was desperate, so I reached out and explained my situation. The Trust Geeks Hack Expert team was sympathetic and confident they could help using their proprietary recovery software and techniques. I sent them my old hard drive and eagerly anticipated their response. I was notified a few weeks later with the incredible news that my wallet and all 10,000 bitcoins had been successfully retrieved! I was shocked to see that years' worth of presumed losses had now been reimbursed. Even if the Trust Geeks Hack Expert team demanded a substantial 20% fee, recovering 80% of my lost Bitcoin wealth was still a fantastic bonus. Now that I have become a devoted Trust Geeks Hack Expert customer, I always suggest them to other cryptocurrency investors who misplace their wallets.

I was so impatient to carry out some necessary research about crypto training and investing buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 65,000 GBP worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to 240,000 GBP within a couple of weeks.
But I didn't realize I was dealing with a scam company, until I tried an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and notice my account suddenly blocked for no apparent reason. I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all cost, because I could not afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recover my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online research, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum were couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptocurrency funds with help of wzardgarryspeedhack@gmail.com.
So I file a report and they were able to help me get back all my lost funds within 24hrs.Am indebted to them, apart from trying to express my gratitude to them once again using this medium to recommend anybody who wants to recover scammed bitcoin, stolen cryptocurrency, funds lost to binary option forex, investment and any other form of online scam, reach out to
