Pregnancy Is Beautiful – Ini Dima Okojie

Nollywood actress Ini Dima Okojie has unveiled her new project. The soon-to-be mum, in partnership with a clothing brand, launched a line of comfy clothes for pregnant women and other women.

Stressing that pregnancy is beautiful, Ini admitted that she has struggled with finding pieces that feel comfortable, elevated and still feel like her.

The moviestar added that the new collection allows her to share her creativity during a transformative season of her life.

Her words, “Pregnancy has been such a beautiful season for me, but I’ll be honest, one thing I really struggled with was finding pieces that felt comfortable, elevated, and most importantly, still felt like me.

That’s part of what inspired Bump & Beyond.

A collection created with so much love in collaboration with @wear_hco. Six easy, elevated pieces designed to move with you through different seasons of womanhood. Pieces that feel good, look good, and can be worn beyond maternity, too.

This collection feels really special because it allowed me to share a little bit of my creativity during such a transformative season in my life, and I truly hope you love these pieces as much as I do.

To every woman, bump or no bump, this one is for you.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
