Nigerian transgender, Miss Sahhara and her big bσσbs took some lovely pictures recently. She took to her Instagram page to share the pretty pictures. See the pictures below:
Nigerian model and singer Miss Sahhara claimed in an article recently to mark the Transgender Day of Remembrance that she was harassed and jailed in Nigeria for being a transgender and even attempted suicide but is now proud and free.
Miss Sahhara writes…”I am standing in front of the mirror looking at my reflection. Tears of joy trickle down my rouged cheek before going on stage.
I am in tears because I just can’t believe how realistic my dreams have become. I am a woman! Living my life freely. Accepted and respected for my achievements as a model and a performer.
My fellow transgendered sisters and brothers paved this way for me. They fought for acceptance, understanding and respect. Some died while fighting for what they believed in and others fell before their time due to hate, rejection and society’s unfairness. Every single story gave me strength to fight on and never to give up.
I wish I could tell the younger one who tried to commit suicide twice that life gets better and dreams come true.
I did not imagine life could be this amazing many years ago after being released from a horrid Nigerian prison for being different. Then all I could think was I could die in this prison and no one will know or care.
Being imprisoned felt justifiable, considering I was being punished for being ‘gay’ – something they assumed due to my feminine features and mannerisms.
I wasn’t gay, I am a woman born differently due to natural defects. What I felt did not match my outward appearance. Being assigned male at birth doesn’t make me a man or a woman, nobody was born a man or a woman, you develop into your preferred gender as you grow up. For me, that gender was female. I was born male but my brain, gestures, features and carriage functioned as female.
