UK-based Ghanaian musician, Fuse ODG talks about bleaching. Moreover, he is championing an agenda for Africans to stay true to themselves and portray a positive image of the continent. This is because fair complexion and curves are not the standard for beauty.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is just sad that today that is what we see. However, I want to tell the ladies that bleaching and all these things are not the standard of beauty. We are black and we should appreciate ourselves as such.<\/em><\/p>\n
“But can you blame them? It is because of their orientation, we have been brainwashed to believe that is what beauty is about. Our culture is rich, we are rich as a people so let us start seeing ourselves that way\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Furthermore, Fuse stated that he has a lot of material for the first quarter of this year.<\/p>\n
“My team and I are really passionate about changing the narrative of Africa so we have a lot of things up our sleeves.<\/em><\/p>\n
“Currently we have some singles that will be dropping within the first quarter of this year, amazing songs and amazing collaborations.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cI believe we can achieve it. When you look at the TINA Festival, it was great, the lectures, exchange of ideas etc show that people are ready to challenge the status quo only if it is brought to them”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
