arah Oladokun also known as ‘Sarah Destiny’ is a lifestyle blogger from London. After finishing her A-Levels, she gained a new found interest to create content on YouTube and share her childhood experiences, values and messages with others. Growing up, one of Sarah’s biggest insecurities was her skin colour and as a result she began to bleach her skin. After receiving negative side effects such as extreme sensitivity and discolouration after months of usage , she decided to stop for her own health and safety.
In her skin bleaching story video on YouTube, Sarah shares her experiences with bleaching and how she managed to overcome one of her biggest insecurities. She also encourages other young females to find and establish self love within themselves and not to base it on standards set by society. Sarah continues to encourage young ladies who are just like her to love the skin that they are in and goes by the motto that “you should never ever base your standards of beauty on anyone else’s, but your own”.
Business Feature:
Papa Spice
PaPa Spice has been created by two British Gambian brothers – Farra and Lawrence Gomez, using a recipe handed down by their father Joseph Gomez. PaPa Gomez worked as a personal Head Chef for the President of Gambia for over 25 years. The African recipe has been infused with herbs and spices normally associated with traditional British dishes to create Afro-Brit™ cuisine. He spent over 25 years perfecting his recipe in his capacity as personal Head Chef for the President of Gambia Sir Dawda Jawara.
Lawrence Gomez has been working as a Chef at the world famous Ivy restaurant in London and has learnt the art of fresh herb and spice combinations. His many years at the Ivy have allowed him to master the art of fine British cusine. Together the two brothers have created the contemporary Afro-Brit™ culinary vibe; the combination of African and British cuisine. The aim of these sauces and marinades is to instantly bring to life any dish and to cut out the time and preparation required to enhance any dish. The brothers felt it was necessary to create convenient sauces and marinades in today’s busy environment, which would save time and money but also provide great flavours as well as being healthy and natural. As lovers of both British and African dishes, there was a strong desire to create Afro-Brit™ cuisine. So whether you want to add a kick and freshness or you want to enrich your everyday dishes, you should give Papa Spice a try.
