Bejewelled Bud

Bringing high fashion to the mid-west.

Bejewelled Bud

Anjola Fagbemi, 18 years old, from Lagos, Nigeria, is in her second year of college at Wichita State University. I talked with her about her blog called Bejewelled Bud, a fashion blog she rus by herself, along with a YouTube channel, Instagram, and Snapchat. Fashion and makeup have always been a part of her life, but she didn't think to make it into a business model until she was about 15.

During what she called "A Levels," a type of post-high school/pre-college program, she was thinking of what she wanted to do with her life. During the summer of 2014, she went on vacation to England, that summer her model skyrocketed. In a few short months she had started her blog and her YouTube channel. She made her first post and said "it felt good to finally be putting myself out there." From there, she came to Kansas and started to branch out, bringing new brands and styles to the forefront of Mid-Western minds.

All her life she has been designing and styling clothes. After her medical degree is complete, she says she could see herself in Paris being a stylist or having her own fashion line. We also talked about her fans and the competitiveness that comes from being one of many fashion gurus on the Internet. She and I both are very thankful for the inclusive community of YouTube, which makes being just another fashion guru a lot more fun than it sounds. Instead of competing to see who's better, people with different styles are encouraged to collaborate and learn from each other rather than tearing each other down (in most cases). Anjola made a comment about people like her by stating, "you can't compare someone's end to your middle or beginning." This carries such a heavy weight with her fans or "buds." She would love to see that she inspired someone to do what she does because it makes her happy. She also loves growing her with fans as a person and fashionista.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
