Last year, Nivea launched a campaign that seeks to honour and recognise all shades of beauty with their products. The brand chose five women to represent this new chapter: Aisha Baker, Shudufhadzo Musida, Shekhinah, Vongai Mapho and Anarzade Omar.
The award-winning musician said her personal definition of beauty is “embracing who you are. Nobody can be you — that’s the beauty of it all is that you are a one of one.
“I think at the age I’m at, 28, celebrating my shade of brown/black is being comfortable with my skin colour and owning it.
“Growing up I had a complex about always wanting to be darker skinned or lighter skinned and never really happy with the colour I was. Now I confidently own being a brown-skinned girl and it shows by how far I’ve come with accepting my skin as I want to be seen, whereas I used to hide and not show much of myself.
“Celebrating all shades of brown/back is a big deal. For me it means growth.”

While most people are well within the Janu-Worry woes, musician Shekhinah is living it up in Dubai and looking stunning while she's at it.
The Suited hitmaker decided to leave load-shedding and related Mzansi problems to go breathe the same air as Beyoncé in the UAE.
Taking to her Instagram, the singer shared cute snaps serving friendships and vacation OOTDs (outfits of the day) that are to die for!
Like all Dubai tourists, Shekhinah rode some cool quad bikes across the desert and lounged around the pool looking cute in a sunset-themed pleated skirt and Maxhosa bra.
Check out her snaps below:
