Hi guys!

I am super excited to be officially writing my intro for this blog. It has definitely been a long time coming for me. I suddenly realised I was busy waiting for everything to be perfect before it takes off while I had things I wanted to write about piling up in my head but who the heck needs perfection??? (Like my good friend Adesuwa pointed out to me). So I have decided to start even though I have no idea what blogging is all about and everything I want on and for the blog isn’t ready yet. What is most important is that I have a passion to do this –share my thoughts and experiences with you and learn from you guys too! That counts for something right?

The idea behind the name of this blog (besides the red velvet cake which is incredibly awesome) is that I wanted something sultry, hot ,feminine, sexy –in a good way –and also appealing to both sexes. I was speaking to a friend (ime) about my ideas and she suddenly came up with this name and I love it! So ‘Redvelvet’ is a platform for me and the other contributors to talk to people, especially ladies straight from our hearts about everyday things. This blog will not be stereotyped.  It will cover issues ranging from relationships to fashion to politics to sex to spirituality etc. Diverse right? Well the idea is not to limit ourselves on what can and should be discussed on this platform. So I am looking at an opportunity where we can share whatever bothers us ladies generally and still be able to talk about issues happening in the country around us and globally too.

It is quite obvious that the focus of the blog is on ladies and the issues affecting us however, it will not be restricted to us alone because it will not be possible to take men out of the equation. Contrary to the general belief, feminists (like me) respect men a great deal and believe that they are very important (God wasn’t stupid when he made the man head). It is my belief that a woman cannot take the place of a man and vice versa. I only have a problem when a woman is disregarded and disrespected simply because she is a woman! (Topic for another day! lol).

My co-contributors are some gorgeous, amazing, beautiful ladies who are super intelligent and talented- Adesuwa, Adanma, Faith, Mikkie and Ngozi.  These wonderful ladies and I will pour out our hearts to you through our various pieces over time and we would appreciate your valuable feedbacks too. Let me add that anyone is free to send any write-ups, articles, or areas that you feel should be covered in this blog. Like I said nothing is written in stone and the blog isn’t perfect therefore we are very flexible.

I look forward to having so much fun doing this and I hope y’all will enjoy the ride with me. 

Talk to you very soon!

Cheers!

Love,

ELLA….xxx
