Welcome to Afrodites: A Note from the Founder

Hello, beautiful people!

I’m Wenosen, and I am so excited to welcome you to Afrodites! This isn’t just a blog—it’s a vibe, a safe space, and a celebration of everything that makes us, as Afro-women, unapologetically amazing. So, grab a cup of tea (or wine, no judgment here) and get comfortable. You’re home now.

The name Afrodites is inspired by Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, but with a little twist—this time, the spotlight is on us. We’re talking about the strong, radiant, and resilient African women who’ve been shining all along. Society has tried to convince us that our beauty doesn’t fit into its narrow mold, but let’s be real: people are out here spending fortunes to get what we have naturally. Our afro-textured hair? Stunning. Our full, luscious lips? Iconic. Our curves? Chef’s kiss.

Moving out of my home country taught me something profound: being different doesn’t mean being less. Living in spaces where most people don’t look like me made me appreciate myself even more. I fell in love with my hair, my skin, my curves—things I used to question, I now treasure. And if no one’s told you this recently, let me be the one to say it: You are magic. Period.

Through Afrodites, my mission is to build a strong, supportive community of powerful women. This is our safe space—a space to celebrate blackness in all its glory, to encourage each other, and to remind the world that we belong here. While we’re based in the diaspora, let me make this clear: Afrodites is for Afro women everywhere. No borders, no limits—this is for all of us. Whether you’re strutting your stuff in New York, Lagos, Berlin, or Accra, this space is yours.

We’ll cover everything from self-love and beauty to wellness and culture. Expect stories that inspire, tips that empower, and conversations that feel like a hug from your bestie. But most importantly, this is where you’ll feel seen, heard, and celebrated.

So, thank you for being here. I’m thrilled to have you on this journey with me. Let’s grow together, laugh together, and show the world what it means to be Afro and proud. And if you ever need a reminder of how amazing you are, just come back here—I’ve got you.

With love, laughter, and a little sass,

Wenosen

Founder of Afrodites
