COVER STORY
Who Is Latasha Lagos?
I’m just a girl with a big dream to do everything and die empty when I leave this world.
I want to write more, I want to read more, travel more, design more, do so much, interiordesign, act, I wish I could sing, present more, do more TV.
Basically Latasha Lagos is that person who inspires people, lights up the world and gives people joy.
What is beauty to you?
Beauty to me, apart from the external and the aesthetic you see, are moments of joy. Moments I hold on to that sometimes make me laugh, or make me cry, I find a lot of beauty in those times.
Tell us more about your movement - About That Curvy Life?
About that curvy life (ATCL), was created as a safe space
for women and men who don’t
fall under the construct that society has set in terms of the standard look and size.
It was borne in my early
days as a writer, being unable to find people that could showcase a certain kind of physique.
People who looked like me and did not fall under fashion rules of the right kind of body.
ATCL was created to fill that gap, to create content from here to the diaspora and report content from the diaspora here.
As a movement, it was to help people find each other and connect, inspire, encourage and build so that they understand that you can be anything and everything. Nothing is beyond your reach just because of how people think or say you look.
Tell us something people don’t know about you?
I don’t eat eggs, laughs. I stopped eating eggs when I was four years old.
Also certain cartoons make me cry.
Tell us something you can’t live without? This sound so cliché, but I can’t live without God. He’s my everything.
