With back-to-back blockbusters, a thriving movie production company, a growing fashion empire and an ever-rising militia of IG followers, Ms Nelson has earned her place as one of Africa’s iconic personalities. It would be great to talk about clothes, shoes, bags, and all the fashionable niceties that come with being in the spotlight, but Yvonne is certainly not here for them, at least not today. The world and its dynamics are changing rapidly; she knows she has a part to play and is more than determined to do her best.

Sitting to a chat with the E-I-C Franka Chiedu She shares in detail her trials, tribulations and triumphs during the time leading up to and after her #Dumsormuststop campaign as she calls on other celebrities to use their platforms for the greater good of the masses who support them daily.

Also in this issue is a special editorial feature with Nigerian TV poster child Idia Aisen as she dishes on her rising status, her inspirations and drive.

A beautiful issue to say the least. The 8^th edition of Blanck explores activism and the collective power of raising our voices. From riveting fashion editorials to inspiring and mind awakening articles; the issue is both creative and educative.
