Toyin Lawani, Nigerian fashion stylist, has stunned many of
her fans with a racy photo shoot on the occasion of her 39th birthday.
The entrepreneur took to her Instagram page on Monday to flaunt photos of herself completely unclad with her body designed with flowery tattoos.
She, however, said the photos shot by her fiance should
simply be seen as art.
Lawani also accompanied one of the photos with a lengthy
post wherein she reflected on the prevalence of gender inequality in the
society.
She said it was unfortunate that women have continued to
suffer discrimination because of certain age-long erroneous beliefs about them.
“They’re things I don’t worry myself about because the
society does all of the worrying like they believe a woman can’t afford certain
lifestyle genuinely or attain certain height from dedication and hard work,”
she wrote.
“I show you real-life content when I’m doing my various
jobs, some men can’t even do what I do daily, but they like to give commands,
cause they feel women are their toys to bore children and serve them.
“In a world ruled by men that set limits to the female on
what, where & how. Would that be a topic to worry about? Yeah, I said the
society does all of the worrying. I stand to rule without limitation or
boundaries.”
The mother of two said she has learned to overcome such
negativity by paying less attention to what the society thinks of women while
working on herself.
“I’m not held back by what the society worries, I’m a woman
who has paid my dues who works tirelessly day and night legitimately to feed my
kids and people who depend on me. I’m a woman who works daily on my various
goals and I don’t let society stop me with their beliefs,” she added.
“I have a daughter and I have a son. They breathe same
oxygen, eat alike and attain alike, and ill not set boundaries on where she can
get to in life or where he can get to in life because gender is not a measure
of success or height. We can’t be enslaved because of our gender.”
