During a recent interview with Essence Magazine’s Karefa Johnson, Nigerian singer Tems emphasized the importance of recognizing and celebrating people’s differences and uniqueness, stating that there shouldn’t be any requirements for that.
According to her, her dress sense is a natural outcome of being true to herself rather than trying to communicate a particular message.
Tems emphasizes the importance of embracing individuality and rejects the idea of a standard for how people should dress.
She believes in being true to oneself and not conforming to societal or industry expectations.
Tems expressed that being authentic is key and stressed the importance of self-expression without the pressure to conform to certain styles, especially for artists and women.
She appreciates being seen as a role model for promoting self-love and acceptance and encourages people to be true to themselves.
