COVER STORY
ACCELERATE TV’S AUGUST 2020 COVER STAR IS
LATASHA LAGOS
The multifaceted media veteran, fashion designer, body positivity activist, and part-time actress is shooting for the stars and aiming for the moon.
‘I’m just a girl with a dream to inspire the world and inspire people one body at a time, to be everything and to go for everything.“
In an exclusive sit down with Accelerate TV, the Nnewi native discusses all that she has done, what she is doing, and how she is destined to do so much more.
t’s a warm summer evening, I meet Latasha at her home, aka her sanctuary and straight away I witness two things;
Not only is she super sweet and hospitable, much like her Taurus counterparts she knows how she wants things done
and doesn’t budge until those things are done accordingly.
“The things you think are not important, it’s those little things that count, honestly”. She says to me after correcting her apprentice over and over again, about overlooking some
adjustments to the clothes that are being made overnight for the shoot.
What some may see as controlling, I see as highly commendable, “I love to intensely prepare because
the times when I’ve been intentionally successful have come from intense preparation. And yes, call me a control freak, but you have to be like that to survive in these waters.”
As she offers me a glass of water, I compliment her on her nails and she details that she just got them done for the first
time in 5 years, thanks to my constant cajoling that we must go over and beyond for the people.
Aware of her position as a glam queen, this surprised me and seeing the shock on my face,
the mistress of minimalism explained,“I find going to the salon very stressful, I always
love the finished result of my hair or my nails but just the thought of going and sitting through the process ends up deterring me.”
Yet another thing that surprised me with Latasha and this was
just the start, read on to discover more.
