Hello steemit, Im Annie Shaka, I'm awriter/illustrator/fashion and movie ethusiast from Edo state Nigeria.
Growing up in Nigeria is fun (since I'm still growing). It's warm here (maybe too warm) and contrary to popular belief it's also friendly here. My culture is very rich and colourful and beautiful and I've always wanted to promote it, introduce it to the world. Hopefully with this platform I'll be able to, succesfully.
That's my sister and bestfriend all dressed up in our traditional attire. I'm behind the camera, as usual 😊 .
