the #BOOMERANGBABE making a name for herself in the world with her beauty, brawn and brains.
There has been an influx of support for every shade and hue of the black woman. We now see that there is no one type of black women in the African diaspora who is more deserving of praise or recognition than another. Go on any social media platform and you will see that there are a plethora of accounts dedicated to uplifting the different shades of melanin that grace this planet.
When CaChawn Thompson coined the hashtag #BlackGirlMagic in 2013, she created a platform that Julee Wilson at the Huffington Post described as a term to “celebrate the beauty, power and resilience of Black women.” Hashtags such as this and #CarefreeBlackGirls have given black women a place to finally just embrace and love their blackness.
Tare Deinne is a prime example of a #CarefreeBlackGirl overflowing with #BlackGirlMagic and has taken the internet by storm.
Deinne’s keen eye for fashion and inspired hairstyles are only the cusp of what she brings to the table.
At only 23, Nigerian-based Tare Deinne has gained recognition across social media platforms with her photographs being shared by multiple pages dedicated to praising black women.
Deinne says that nearly two years ago a couple of her pictures gained attention but she was not always received as highly as she is today.
According to Deinne, “Growing up I was always teased about modeling because of my skin color and I happen to be the tallest person in my family.” Despite being teased for having darker skin, Deinne says she never felt insecure and always embraced every aspect of her beautiful melanin-filled skin. Deinne says that though being darker in society can be discouraging, she believes that it is important to overcome the stigma that comes with it.
Deinne believes that girls who may be teased for being darker should simply, “Be fucking confident. Find what make you feel sexy and run with it. If you let people get to you, then they win. Make the best of every situation.”
Dienne is firm believer in the strength, resilience and power that comes with being an independent woman. Tare Dienne says she looks up to the likes of women such as Oprah, Kimora Lee and, of course, her own mother.
“That one, she’s a fighter,” says Dienne. Instagram has played a huge role in Dienne’s success and acknowledgement around the web.
Deinne says that, “Instagram is a good and solid platform depending on how you use it. I've gotten a few paid gigs from it so I can't say it hasn't supported.”
Though Instagram has played a role in supporting her career, Dienne says she’s also received the strange messages that come with being known on social media like request for pictures of her feet!
When scrolling through Dienne’s profile, you may get envious of her flawless skin and wonder what her skin care routine is.
Deinne explains, “I get asked this a lot but it sucks because I don't have a fancy answer, but black soap and to eat good.”
Take notes, ladies!
Trendsetter Tare Deinne's Must Have's for This Summer: What To Listen To: “I've got Ed Sheeran, who wouldn't? Migos: gotta keep it thrill. And good old Otis Redding. Well his sound is perfect.” What To Wear: “Sunglasses, scarfs and mules.” What To Buy: "BOOMERANG and vintage, definitely.”
You may also notice the chest tattoo that adds to Dienne’s distinct look.
“I've got a Hamsa hand,” Dienne says. “It started off as a cross really, got a little crooked and I switched it up. I'm quite spiritual to be honest. Not necessarily as religious.”
As black women, we have the luxury of changing our hairstyle whenever we want to try something new whether it be with wigs, braids or weaves. Dienne fully embraces the fun that comes with that. Dienne says that the inspiration behind her various looks differs each time she decides on a new look. “To be honest, it depends on how I feel and what role I feel like playing,” Dienne laughs.
When it comes to fashion and pop culture, Dienne is well aware of the influence that African culture and fashion has on the world today.
“Our culture has always played a big role but it's only getting recognized as of now. From the prints to cuts, I feel there's always an aspect of Africa in it.”
As an entrepreneur and an influencer, Tare Deinne has the brains to match her beauty. Before entering the realms of modeling and fashion, Dienne studied engineering.
“My parents always pushed me in line of science,” Deinne explains. “I was good at it so didn't mind it. So, I aspired for that until I found myself and strengths.”
Now, Dienne is stepping behind the scenes with her fashion and styling house, BOOMERANG.
“I'm well excited because of the work I've put in it and I hope it's received nicely,” says Dienne.
Tare Dienne is excited for the future of her brand and says, “I take pride in running my own thing so I'm hopeful I'll be fully independent and having good sales before the year runs out.”
