In a time when female leaders in this country are far and few between, especially in the mainstream media, I think it’s time to boost the morale of our “sistas” and highlight those who are actually doing something positive. Instead of listening to preposterous statements like, “I can see Russia from my house”; I think we should sit back and listen to those who have something relevant to say. Instead of looking at celebrity party girls in tacky photographs in the tabloid magazines, I think we should be looking at the photographs of talented young women behind the lens instead.
Nikita just celebrated their second annual Photo Shoot Contest and with no surprise, they saw a boost in entrants. About 65% more entries than last year as a matter of fact. Nikita received three hundred entries from girls all across the world, snapping themselves for a chance to win a place on the Fall Winter 09/10 Nikita streetwear photoshoot. A few words from Nikita…
“Nikita founder and head designer Heida was among the judges who spent a considerable amount of time checking out each and every entry sent in. A BIG thanks should go to all the girls who took the time to enter. The final decisions have been made and there are two girls who are going to be on their way with the Nikita crew to the photoshoot in October. These two ladies made a big impression with the judges, who are just as excited to meet them and have them join in. And the winners are…(drum roll please..)..”
