Chidera Eggerue, also known as 'The Slumflower,' is a London-based activist focused on teaching young women and girls independence. Through her inspiring work, she focuses mostly on self-confidence, originality, and self-love. Her ideas will boost your confidence and change your perspective on life, confidence, and beauty as a woman. Here are her top 5 life-changing quotes.
1. "You are valuable."
Self-worth is really important and many women struggle with this concept. The Slumflower is all about discussing self-worth and the importance of loving yourself as much as you love others.
2. "Your solace lies in your solitude."
Peace within is very important for women according to Chidera. Never forget that your well-being is just as important as someone else's. And it is okay to be alone.
3. "You are magnificent."
Probably one of the hardest "battles" for women today is the struggle to love oneself. Chidera is constantly offering thoughtful advice on this issue. Her passion for encouraging women to love every part of themselves is inspiring and makes me want to speak out about the same things. Always, always, always love yourself first.
4. "Perfection is overrated."
"Rejection is an opportunity for self-acceptance."
"You have to get it wrong to get it right."
"May you learn how to behave when your blessings choose you."
Just remember, nobody is perfect. Just be yourself.
5. "Be very stubborn and unpredictable."
As you can tell, Chidera is all about promoting self-worth and the importance of fitting into your own skin. She stresses the importance of women being unique in all of their life experiences, whether those are personal or business related.
If you couldn't tell already, The Slumflower is all about encouraging young women to flourish and prosper in a social and political environment where these goals aren't valued (specifically for women). You can probably also tell that Chidera is on her way to changing the world. If you love yourself and urge others to do the same, you just might change it too.
