It was a total fangirl moment talking to Elsa, who has got so many of us through lockdown with her videos. Her real, honest, universally relatable, hilarious videos. Saying the things we say in our own heads but never out loud. It\u2019s this energy that has taken the world by storm over the past year.
Elsa has a refreshing take on being unashamedly herself, refusing to fit into the mould that\u2019s out there. A 19-year-old African woman who clearly won\u2019t take any shit from people who think her youth and origin make her naive. Nope. Elsa talks about her future plans with the shrewd strategy of a chess player. It\u2019s clear this is all very much the beginning for her.
I\u2019m so excited to share this episode with you. I think we could all do with being a bit more Elsa Majimbo: \u201cI don\u2019t feel any kind of pressure to do anything or to look a certain way. So, what I want to do is what I do. If I don\u2019t want to do it, I don\u2019t do it.\u201d
Enjoy listening. And as always, mad amounts of love.
