Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James has boldly responded to an Instagram troll who criticized her appearance, asserting that she is perfect just the way God made her. The incident sparked when a user claimed that Veekee’s beauty was merely a product of filters and wigs. In a powerful video posted on October 25, 2024, Veekee addressed the comment head-on, showcasing her bare face without any makeup or wig.
In her response, she emphasized the importance of the energy individuals project online and its impact on others. “The problem with many of you is that you are not very smart,” she began, urging people to be more intentional about the energy they share. She stressed that negative energy often results in negative outcomes for those who project it.
Veekee challenged the troll directly, saying, “If you come on my page and drop something that is supposed to make me feel ashamed, you should be ready to see that it yields results.” She expressed that her confidence is unwavering and that negative comments do not affect her as the troll might hope.
Embracing her natural beauty, she said, “This is the face of someone who hasn’t slept in days and has been under the sun. This is a perfect face and a face designed by God, and skin created by the Almighty.” She reiterated her self-acceptance, declaring, “You can’t shame the shameless; I am unapologetically me.”
Veekee’s empowering message serves as a reminder of the importance of self-love and the strength found in embracing one’s natural self, encouraging others to rise above negativity.
