Irish-Indian literary sensation Nikita Gill on what empowerment means today, on how style is married with self-expression and her wish for women’s rights on International Women’s Day …
Celebrating the female written word and the power of poetry, & Other Stories’ International Women’s Day campaign features the Irish-Indian literary sensation Nikita Gill.International Women’s Day is a day of remembrance and contemplation for me. I always look back at what our foremothers have fought for to get us here, and how far we still have to go to give our granddaughters the best future they can possibly have.
I think the way we dress and look is a reflection of how we feel about ourselves inside. The clothes, accessories and shoes I pick therefore need to make me feel confident in who I am. Especially on days when I don’t feel as confident, fashion helps me feel empowered.As a poet, my job is to look at a blank piece of paper and fill it with words that move and emphasise, flow like a river and leave someone changed. I think fashion does the same to the body as its canvas.
