Imagine waking up every day, feeling ashamed and inferior because of your body size. This is the reality for many plus-sized women in Nigeria, who are often told that they don't belong, that they aren't good enough, and that their bodies are a source of embarrassment. But we are here to prove that wrong.
We are a group of plus-sized women who have overcome adversity and shattered the stereotypes that hold us back. Despite being rejected and body-shamed, we have refused to give up on our dreams of making a positive impact in our communities. We are event bouncers and close protection officers who are dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive environment for all.
Our passion for this work is rooted in our own experiences of feeling marginalized and disrespected because of our size. We know what it feels like to be told that you don't belong, and we are determined to make sure that no one else has to experience that. By breaking down the barriers that stand in our way, we are not only empowering ourselves, but we are also inspiring others to embrace their bodies and pursue their passions.
However, our mission is not without its challenges. As plus-sized women, we often struggle to find the necessary equipment and gear to do our jobs effectively. This puts us at a disadvantage and can be discouraging, making us feel like we are not good enough to do the job we love. This is where you come in.
With your support, we will be able to purchase the necessary equipment and gear that fits us properly, allowing us to perform our jobs with confidence and pride. Your support will also help us provide training and professional development opportunities for our team members, ensuring that we are always at the top of our game.
But your support is about more than just helping us do our jobs better. It's about sending a message to the world that plus-sized women belong, that we are strong, capable, and deserving of respect. It's about breaking down the negative stereotypes and promoting a positive and inclusive message.
We are not asking for your support out of a sense of entitlement, but out of a deep and abiding gratitude for the opportunity to make a positive impact in the world. We believe that together, we can create a brighter future for plus-sized women in Nigeria, where everyone is valued and respected, regardless of their size.
Your support will not only help us achieve our goals, but it will also give us the strength and encouragement to keep fighting for a more inclusive and equitable world. So, we ask you to please consider supporting us in our mission to empower plus-sized women and break down the barriers that hold us back.
We have been featured in Reuters as a phenomenal group of women making a difference in their community.
Thank you for taking the time to read our message. We are so grateful for your support, and we promise to use your contributions wisely to make the biggest impact possible. Every little bit helps, so whether you can give a little or a lot, your support will go a long way in helping us achieve our goals.
With gratitude,
Dragon Squad Team
