While some beautiful, extraordinary ladies like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Anita Erskine, Ama K. Abrebrese and the first lady of the Republic of Ghana, Samira Bawumai  are making it a point to bridge the gap with men in society, some deem it believable that loving your body means exposing yourself to the whole universe. In this modern world of advanced technology, especially in respect to communication gadgets, it is easy to relay a message out there where thousands of people are ready to prey upon. It is marvelous to notice how this same Internet is making some people fortunes.
Women empowerment is taking many stances these days. Many people are becoming advocates of good courses with honest intentions, but the way in which the messages are put out there might not be ideal. Posterity stand to gain or lose depending on the sort of legacy the we leave. Many young girls, irrespective of social class, religious background, education, and anything that differentiates them from one another, are not invincible to modern influence. It is worthwhile for these young girls to understand the effective use of technology and the consequences that comes with its misuse. The innocent young minds of today cannot be exposed to "a good course meted wrongly".
Recent trends on social media is met with many ladies exposing themselves intentionally for public view. Whatever reasons they have behind that, they cannot justify it reasonably as far as morality is concerned. I beg to differ, but if loving your body means public exposure of your nudity, then it only stands to identify you a "sex object", inoffensively, speaking for myself.
Ama K. Abrebrese, actress and TV personality, advocates a good course where she is teaching black girls to love their skin colour by avoiding the use of chemicals to bleach. Her work do not only teach Young girls to avoid bleaching, but also puts them on a pedestal where they become mentally strengthened against racial discrimination and thereby loving their bodies in the process. It is phenomenal to notice how these ladies progressively teach what they practise. Chimamanda, a novelist and a feminist, believe that if society raises a boy to believe and respect ladies without undermining their strength and capabilities, we wouldn't have situations where ladies would be struggling to make their voices heard and in the process succumb to all means to voice out their concerns. All the discrimination women face, notwithstanding, cannot take away the fact that women deserve as much respect as any other human being, no matter the place, time and the situation at hand.  For the ladies we consider as role models in the industry, do not disappoint us.
Ladies, continue to love your bodies, but most of all, be virtuous and live for your God / Allah.
