February 04, (THEWILL) – Popular content creator, Amarachi Amusi, aka Ashmusy, says she stopped wearing body-revealing outfits because she was being perceived as a prostitute.
“Before I rebranded a few months ago, I used to wear sexy outfits. As a young girl, one would want to show one’s body. I did not know that I was being perceived as a prostitute.
“Meanwhile, I knew how much I was working behind the camera, running a business, and shooting adverts every day. With all of that, I was able to buy a car and a house. It pained me when people insinuated that those things were bought for me by a man.
“I was later in my quiet zone, thinking about why I was being judged that way, despite all my work that the people were seeing. I then started watching my videos, seeing that most times my body was exposed, with my nipples even showing.
“I was being goofy but I did not know that people had been looking at something else. I have realised that if one wants to be seen as a prestigious woman, one has to dress accordingly. One cannot be showing sensitive parts of one’s body.”
