How is this for the power of Nigeria's blogsphere: Uche Eze, the blogger behind the popular entertainment blog, Bella Naija has made the leap to the big leagues. She was just featured on the Oprah Winfrey show's Beauty Around the World.

Uche Eze's skype interview

Here's her words on the experience:

Finally, our segment – I talked about how beauty goes along with brains in Nigeria – as in – a woman should be educated and driven, I talked about Ankara, aso-ebi, the shift in body image, healthy eating, current beauty trends (Brazilian hair, Indian hair etc..LOL) some parts of the segment have to be edited so not sure what will be shown – I was too excited to take note! I then chatted with Oprah on Skype. Her main question was about women’s body image in Nigeria.



I am so grateful for this experience. It’s so hard for me to write anything personal because that is just not me. However, I really hope this encourages any and everyone because no dream or aspiration is beyond actualization. I strongly believe in speaking positive things. I always tell myself “From our lips to God’s ears”.
