The week brought with it, memories of the dead, power to influence change and new beginnings. Here is a rundown of what happened in the week:
Beyonce is Vogue
Queen Bey has been allowed to make her decisions regarding the September cover for Vogue. Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, granted her the power to do so with everything that concerns its production. According to HuffPost, she will be choosing her captions, photos and dresses. The icon who has been promoting black culture is not putting a break to her steps as she will be using a 23-year-old black photographer, Tyler Mitchell. The last time Beyonce covered the magazine, she made history because she was not a part of the interview. This might be Wintour’s last cover and she is definitely making a statement with it.
Feminist not!
One of Nigeria’s presidential aspirant Eunice Atuejide who is running under the National Interest Party (NIP) has made it clear that she does not agree to the use of the term “Feminist” because of the different meanings it has.

We all have a lot to offer, and equal weight must be given to our views… I’M NOT A FEMINIST!…Na by force? And who is a feminist?
