A unique way of spreading awareness on social issues
The Ivory Coast native, through her posts, has made some statements that are visually stunning and these are winning her praises. While talking about her journey to Us Stylish, the 23-year-old says, "Wow, I'm on a cloud. Right now I don't know if I can tell you how it feels. Oh my God. It's like there are fireworks inside of me! I'm grateful, I'm happy!"
Ky has mainly used her vocals and hair to make strong statements about issues women in the world face. The various themes she's worked on include creating awareness for breast cancer, menstruation (period shaming in particular) and educating the masses about reproduction.
Ky's favorite designs
The designs she created to invoke awareness about domestic violence and sexual harassment are her favourite. "Maybe it wasn't the most beautiful visually, but this was the most important for me," Ky explains.
As per an article on Us Weekly, the talented artist explained why she uses her hair to convey these messages. "In Africa, hair is a really strong way to show your special side. African women, our ladies, are very playful with their hair," she says. Ky continues, "So as an African woman, it is important for me to use this to create something that can wow people."
