Elizabeth Oloidi is the founder of Qweens Beauty magazine. Qweens Beauty strives to celebrate and represent dark complexion people of colour in an industry that often forgets to include them in the mainstream media culture. A final year Journalism student who started the magazine as a project, she decided to keep it going after the warm reception it received online. She was tired of the beauty industry seeming to feature only minute slices of the shades that people of colour come in.
Her desire is to see more black women allowed to express their full range of self, and for other people of colour to create platforms that celebrate and acknowledge all people of color are not just one shade.
Her biggest inspiration is her mother. She is the woman that has inspired her to become the woman she is today!
Her #Soloudmoment of the week is herself for the work that she has done to put out Qweens Magazine into the world.
