Check out this article from one of our resident bloggers, Jayne Mazimba with her addition to the “Right To Be Me” series of articles, that celebrate freedom of expression and individuality. Jayne explains how she uses her body as a way of expressing herself and how she exercises her right to be sexy.

Being an only child has taught me how to be an individual with strong opinions especially when it comes to my sexuality and my ideas on being sexy. This isn’t necessarily a welcome idea when you live in a community that is fairly reserved and expects young people to pretend as if sex doesn’t exist until we get married. But being the ‘mini rebel’ that I fancy myself to be, (plus I just sort of enjoy shocking my neighbours and their friends sometimes). I push the boundaries of my reserved community, using my body.

To me, my body is one of my MOST prized possessions (I have three others but I wont get into that). My body is an important tool in my self expression. I say “your body is the window to your soul” because with it you can communicate so much without even saying a single word. So I use my body to express my sexiness. I dress as I want to be perceived – as a fun, beautiful, intelligent, strong and sexy young woman. Striking red Lipstick and high heels are a staple in my wardrobe because I am comfortable and confident with my body and who I am sexually and am not afraid to share a piece of that confidence with the world.

I recognise that my sexuality gives me a level of power over the opposite sex and sometimes its fun to exercise that power to get what I want or even have a laugh. I have hips, tits and lips and I am not afraid to use the assets in my possession to express how I want and how I am feeling. I mean every girl wants to be sexy and desirable and many would kill to feel that confidence and sense of power it gives, but I also recognise that there is a fine line between being sexy and being desirable.

People will see who you are and what you’re trying to communicate to the world first, through your body. What you do with your body, be it the way you look or act, shows how much you love and respect yourself and people use that as a cue on the way to treat you.

Jayne loves to look good, loves to have fun and loves to be the centre of attention. And her motto is “What’s the point of doing anything if you can’t enjoy and have fun with it?”.
