Credence (my short review on it)
Have you ever felt out of place? No..I didn't put it correctly..let me try again. Do you sometimes wish you were in a different body? Possibly a slimmer one..or one with just enough curves that would make head turn each time you walked on the road...I want to believe that most of us if not all have had that dream/wish before. I'm sure we've exercised, gone on diets, taken pills, followed YouTube videos and even done plastic surgery but some of them don't give us what we want . Well I was opportuned to come across a certain clip made by Emphire Touch Productions and I highly recommend you check it out as well.. here is a link. https://youtu.be/BdrZn3JgfHw
The short film was edited by prosper whitestone, Rachel nton and Young Chimezirim Charles.
While the beautiful story was writtern by Sopia Abubakar,
Chinyere Bibian George and
Milicent Anugwon..
It consists of lovely cast.. amazing lighting and adequate sounds..
Now I'm not going to tell you the whole story because it's better if you watch it yourself but I'm going to give you a tiny peak of what to expect..
We see Nneoma, a slightly overweight girl (I said slightly because I have seen girls who are bigger). She is seen lying on the ground, talking to her friend.. she's complaining about her weight...she lists the various steps she has taken to shed some weight but none has proved to work. Her friend tries to talk her by reassuring her that nothing is wrong with her or her body shape..Nneoma refuses to listen to her friend and decides to just drown herself in thoughts. The following day, Nneoma realizes that she is to attend her highschool reunion but is having second thoughts about it. Just at the same time, a lady arrives and is seen on the phone. After she hangs up, a group of girls Troup in ND starts going through some clothes..Nneoma also comes in but boy..does she make an entrance (I won't tell you what she did ..go ahead and watch it)..apparently, they had all decided to wear matching outfits and each girl starts finding outfits that would fit her. Well..all except Nneoma..when Nneoma tries to tell them, they start going at her..shaming her and her body weight..the poor girl runs out in tears but no one goes after her (and yet she onced called them "friends")..
Next we are shown what
Nneoma passes through all in the process of trying to loose weight.. she finally has an intervention and decides to go for the reunion..finally shutting away the voice of negativity in her head.. She eventually goes and she arrives at the reunion looking stunning, gorgeous.. a total show stopper.
I remember when I was like Nneoma.. always thinking of my body weight...I did all I could to loose weight cause I always felt insecure and I have a lot of slim friends..even when I lost the weight, it never lasted and I seemed to add 3x more than I lost..
The film is both entertaining and educative and I would highly recommend that you go see it.. here is the link again.

Just remember that all body shapes are beautiful, just be healthy and smart..
If someone calls you skinny or fat, tell them thank you and how much you love your body.
I think they picked a perfect name for it..
Credence : belief in and accepting yourself the way you are..
Thanks for reading. See you next time☺️
