Izinzuzo Zokwelashwa Okubomvu Nomshini Wokwelapha Okukhanyayo

Ngezikhathi ezithile, kuvela umkhuba omusha wokunakekelwa kwesikhumba ezinkundleni zethu zokuxhumana obonakala wanelisa futhi unethemba. Kulesi simo, ukwelashwa ngokukhanya okubomvu kuyathandwa ngenxa yendlela yayo engahlaseli futhi engenabuhlungu. Isithembiso se-Red Light Therapy (RLT) sokunciphisa imibimbi, izibazi zama-acne, kanye nemigqa emincane, phakathi kwezinye izinto, sisenza sizibuze: Ingabe i-Red Light Therapy (RLT) iyimfihlo yobuhle okufanele uyazi, noma ingabe imane nje iyimfashini?
Ukwelashwa Kokukhanya Okubomvu (i-RLT) kuyindlela yokwelapha esebenzisa ukukhanya okubomvu okunamandla aphansi ukuthuthukisa impilo yesikhumba, ukunciphisa ukuvuvukala, nokuqeda ubuhlungu. Ukwelashwa kuvame ukwenziwa ngokubeka isikhumba ekukhanyeni okubomvu, kumadivayisi, noma kuma-laser.
Ngaphakathi kwamangqamuzana ethu esikhumba kunemithombo yamandla emincane ebizwa ngokuthi i-mitochondria emunca ukukhanya okubomvu futhi ikhiqize amandla engeziwe. Ochwepheshe bathi izinzuzo zokwelapha ukukhanya okubomvu nokuseduze kwe-infrared ezingeni lamaseli zifaka phakathi ukuvuselela ukukhula nokusebenza kwe-mitochondrial kanye nokusheshisa ukuphulukiswa kwamanxeba.
Ukwelashwa ngokukhanya okubomvu kusebenza ngokungena esikhumbeni kuze kufike ekujuleni okungama-5 mm, kuvuselele ukukhiqizwa kwe-collagen kanye ne-ATP (adenosine triphosphate). I-Collagen yiprotheni enikeza ukuqina kwesikhumba futhi isize ekunciphiseni ukubonakala kwemibimbi, kuyilapho i-ATP iyi-molecule enikeza amaseli amandla ukuze awasize asebenze kahle kakhulu. Ngakho-ke ungavalelisa kulezo zibazi ze-acne kanye nemibimbi yangaphambi kwesikhathi.
Enye yezinzuzo ezibaluleke kakhulu ze-RLT yikhono layo lokuthuthukisa impilo yesikhumba. Kuye kwabonakala ukuthi inciphisa ukubonakala kwemigqa emincane nemibimbi futhi ithuthukise ukuthungwa kwesikhumba kanye nethoni. Ingasiza futhi ekunciphiseni ukubonakala kwezibazi, izimpawu zokunwebeka, kanye namabala okuguga.
Kutholakale nokuthi i-RLT inezakhiwo zokulwa nokuvuvukala ezingasiza ekunciphiseni ubuhlungu nokuvuvukala emalungeni nasemisipheni. Lokhu kuyenza ibe ukwelashwa okuphumelelayo kwe-arthritis, i-fibromyalgia, kanye nezinye izinhlungu ezingapheli.
Ngaphezu kokuthuthukisa isikhumba sakho, i-RLT ingasiza futhi ekuthuthukiseni ikhwalithi yakho yokulala. Siyazi ukuthi ikhefu lokuzinakekela libaluleke kakhulu empilweni yesikhumba njengokunakekelwa kwesikhumba kwansuku zonke, ngakho-ke ukusebenzisa ukukhanya okubomvu ukukhuthaza ukukhiqizwa kwe-melatonin kungaba yindlela ephumelelayo yokulawula amaphethini okulala nokunciphisa ukuqwasha.
Naphezu kocwaningo oluthembisayo nemiphumela ehlobene nokusetshenziswa kokukhanya okubomvu, akukacaci ukuthi ukwelashwa kokukhanya okubomvu (i-RLT) kuyasebenza yini kuzo zonke izinjongo zako, kusho ochwepheshe. Kodwa-ke, izinzuzo ezihambisana nale divayisi zanele ukuthi uzihlolele wena.
Uma ufuna ukuzama ukwelashwa ngokukhanya okubomvu wena ngokwakho, kunezinhlobo eziningi zamadivayisi asekhaya atholakalayo ukuhlola umphumela wokwelashwa. Kodwa-ke, sihlala sincoma ukuthi uthintane nodokotela wesikhumba oqinisekiswe yibhodi ngaphambi kokuzama ukwelashwa ngokukhanya okubomvu wedwa.
Kodwa-ke, uma ukwelashwa kokukhanya okubomvu kuzwakala njengokwelashwa okulandelayo kokunakekelwa kwesikhumba okuhle kakhulu okudingayo ohlelweni lwakho, sihlanganise uhlu lwemaski, izinduku, kanye nemishini engcono kakhulu ongazizamela yona.
Yenza ibhokisi lakho leposi libe semthethweni! Bhalisela iphephandaba le-xoNecole ukuze uthole izibuyekezo zansuku zonke ngothando, impilo, imisebenzi kanye nokuqukethwe okukhethekile okulethwa ngqo ebhokisini lakho lokungenayo.
U-Alei Arion ungumbhali kanye nomlandisi wezindaba zedijithali ovela eNingizimu, okwamanje useLos Angeles enelanga. Iwebhusayithi yakhe, i-yagirlaley.com, isebenza njengedayari yedijithali yezindatshana zomuntu siqu, ukuphawula kwamasiko, kanye nombono wakhe ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwabantu abamnyama beminyaka eyinkulungwane. Mlandele u-@yagirlaley kuzo zonke izinkundla!
Uma ubulokhu u-inthanethi eminyakeni eyishumi edlule, kungenzeka ukuthi amagama athi Hey, Fran, Hey, kanye nethi Shameless Maya (owaziwa nangokuthi Maya Washington) avele esikrinini sakho. Laba badali bokuqukethwe bathinta yonke ipulatifomu ku-inthanethi, besakaza injabulo futhi besiza abesifazane emhlabeni wonke ukuba baphile impilo engcono. Kusukela emakhambi emvelo aphulukisayo kaFran kuya emazwini okuhlakanipha kaMaya, bobabili abadali bokuqukethwe bakhe abalandeli abathembekile ngokwabelana ngokuqukethwe okuqotho, okuwusizo, nokubuthakathaka. Kodwa befuna impilo eletha ubuciko obuningi, inkululeko kanye nendawo, laba bafundi bedijithali bathuthele emadolobheni amakhulu aphithizelayo (eNew York naseLos Angeles ngokulandelana) baya ezindaweni ezikude kakhulu, bethatha uphawu lwedijithali oludumile nabo.
Ukusebenzisana neMeta Elevate — ipulatifomu yokufunda eku-inthanethi enikeza ukwelulekwa komuntu nomuntu, ukuqeqeshwa kwamakhono edijithali, kanye nomphakathi wamabhizinisi amnyama, amaHispanic, namaLatino — u-xoNecole usanda kubambisana noFrancesca Medina kanye noMaya Washington ukuze baphile IG Frank Khuluma ngendlela abathatha ngayo leso sinqumo ngokushintsha indawo yakho ukuze ekugcineni baveze okungcono kakhulu kuwe nasemsebenzini wakho. UFran ungumhlali waseNew York owathuthela ePortland, e-Oregon esuka eNew York ngonyaka odlule. Ezizwa ejabule kakhulu ngokuxinana kwempilo yasedolobheni, uFran uya ePacific Northwest eyofuna impilo ethule.
Ukunyakaza kwakhe kwamanye amazwe kuyisizinda somkhankaso wakhe omusha ne-Meta Elevate, isikhangiso esifanelekile esibonisa ukuthi ungakhuphuka kanjani usuka noma kuphi ngezinsiza zamahhala njenge-Meta Elevate. Ngokufanayo, uMaya waphetha impilo yakhe eLos Angeles wathuthela eSweden, lapho manje ehlala khona nomyeni wakhe nendodakazi yakhe enhle. Impilo kaMaya iyindawo yasemakhaya futhi iyindawo yokulima kuneCalifornia, kodwa uyachuma kule ndawo entsha enokuthula njengoba ethola indlela yakhe njengomama omusha.
Nakuba uMaya eqhubeka nokwakha futhi ethuthukisa uhlobo lwakhe lwedijithali njengomama ozibiza ngokuthi “umama othathe umhlalaphansi ngaphambi kwesikhathi,” uFran uchaza kabusha umsebenzi wakhe. “Sekuphele unyaka ngisuka eNew York ngaya ePortland, e-Oregon,” kusho uFurlan. “Ngicabanga ukuthi engizama ukukuthola njengamanje ukuthi nginganciphisa kanjani ijubane futhi ngiphumelele.” Ukuhamba kancane kwempilo kuvule amathuba amaningi okudala namathuba kulaba besifazane futhi izingxoxo zethu nabo ziyadingeka kakhulu. , Isikhumbuzo sokuthi impumelelo yakho ayixhomekile ekutheni ukuphi … ikakhulukazi ukuthi i-inthanethi isesandleni sakho. Ukufinyelela emiphakathini efana ne-Meta Elevate kungasiza osomabhizinisi abamnyama, amaHispanic, namaLatino kanye nabadali bokuqukethwe ukuthi baxhumane nabantu abanomqondo ofanayo futhi bafunde ngamakhono amasha edijithali namathuluzi angasiza ekukhuliseni amabhizinisi abo.
Ngesikhathi esimnandi phakathi nengxoxo, uFran wapha uMaya izimbali ebonga umsebenzi wakhe wokuqala emkhakheni wedijithali. Ngesikhathi i-Impact isaqala futhi abadali bezama nje ukuthola indlela yabo, uFran uthi uMaya wayephambili kakhulu kunesikhathi sakhe. “Ngicabanga ukuthi uMaya ungomunye wabasunguli bemboni yedijithali,” kusho uFran. “UMaya ungumshini womuntu oyedwa futhi ngihlala ngimtshela ukuthi ushintsha ngempela indlela izikhangiso, imikhankaso namavidiyo ngokuvamile okufanele abukeke ngayo.”
Lapho ebuzwa ukuthi yisiphi iseluleko angasinika abadali bokuqukethwe, uMaya uthe isihluthulelo ukuba nokuzethemba, noma ngabe awukaboni imiphumela okwamanje. “Ngisho noma ubeka inhliziyo nomphefumulo wakho kukho, kungase kungakusizi ngendlela ocabanga ngayo, kulula ukubona ukuthi kulula kangakanani,” kusho yena. “Usasebenza ngothando nobuqotho. Yiba nokholo futhi wenze umsebenzi. Abantu abaningi bacabanga ngendlela enhle, kodwa lokho kuyingxenye yokucabanga. Kufanele futhi ubeke izinkolelo zakho emsebenzini bese uwuqeda.”
Ukuphetha, uFran ukhuthaza abadali bokuqukethwe kanye nosomabhizinisi abafisayo ukuthi basebenzise iminikelo ebanzi yeMeta Elevate ukuze bafunde ukwakha nokukhulisa amabhizinisi ku-inthanethi. “Kwangithatha iminyaka eyishumi ukufika lapho ngangisesikhangisweni saleli zinga,” kusho yena. “Ngo-2010, ngangingenazo lezi zinsiza. Ngiyawuthanda ukubambisana neMeta Elevate ngoba bahlinzeka ngalezi zinsiza mahhala. Ngicabanga ngabantu ababengeke bakwazi ukukhokhela lolu hlobo lwemfundo nolwazi. Ngakho-ke ukukhuliswa kwenkampani kubonakala sengathi yebo”.
Bukela ingxoxo ephelele kusixhumanisi esingenhla bese ujoyina umphakathi we-Meta Elevate ukuze uxhumane nezinye izinkampani kanye nabadali be-#OnTheRiseTogether.
Esitudiyo edolobheni laseLos Angeles, wonke amehlo ayebheke uChloe. Phakathi kokuchofoza nokuhalalisa kwamakhamera, ushukumisa umzimba wakhe ngobumnene ngemuva okumnyama, manje ekhipha izindebe zakhe ngendlela ekhangayo, manje ebheka emehlweni akhe ngokuhlaba. I-brownie yakhe yayihlotshiswe ngamatshe ayigugu ambalwa, awacela ukuthi afake ubucwebe, futhi wacela ukuthi ihlombe livuleke ukuze libonise kangcono intamo yakhe (“Ngizizwa ngimdala kancane,” esho ngesiqondiso sokuqala). Isimo sakhe esincane sasifakwe ebhulukweni elingenazintambo eline-V ejulile ehambisana nentamo yakhe ejulile.
Nakuba ingabonakali, izingubo zakhe ezithule zikhumbuza owesifazane oke waba lapha ngaphambili futhi ngokuqinisekile uyazi ukuthi wenzani. Uneminyaka engu-24 kuphela ubudala, uyintombazane “enamandla” ekuqeqeshweni – ehloniphekile, engaguquguquki futhi efunda amandla ezwi lakhe.
“Ngezinye izikhathi ngiyanqikaza ukukhuluma ngempela engikucabangayo nokukhuluma ngami kanye nalokho engikukholelwayo,” wavuma kimi kamuva emasontweni ambalwa ngemva kokuthwebula izithombe. “Ngangihlale ngesaba, kodwa manje sengiyaqonda ukuthi kufanele ngikwenze lokhu ukuze ngithole inhlonipho njengowesifazane omnyama – owesifazane omnyama osemusha – osafuna ubuwena bakhe. Uyazi, ngaqaphela ukuthi angikwazi ukudinwa ukugcina umlomo wami uvaliwe. Uma nje ngivala umlomo wami ngoba ngesaba ukuthi abantu bazocabangani ngami, leyo akuyona indlela yokuphila.”
KuChloe, uhambo lowesifazane lumayelana nokuzamukela ngaphandle kokuvumela lokho abanye abakucabangayo ngaye. Ngaphezu kwesinqe, umelela konke ongakucabanga. Unkulunkulukazi omuhle onobuhle bobulili afisa ukububamba kodwa akakwazi ukubuveza. Kodwa kungaziwa muntu owayengekho lapho, umzimba wakhe ongezansi wawumbozwe ingubo emhlophe, futhi ngokumangazayo, intombazane yaqhosha ngokuthi “ngoba nginomzimba omkhulu kangaka” engomeni yayo yokuqala ethi “Have Mercy.”
Kodwa yilobo ubuhle bukaChloe. Kuningi kakhulu kuye kunalokho okubonakala emehlweni. Izithombe ezimbalwa ezithandekayo ezisakazeke ku-Instagram feed yakho ngeke zikutshele okuningi. Njengomfanekiso wefreyimu yesithombe awubonisa kusukela okhalweni kuya phezulu, esikwaziyo ngalo mculi kumane nje kuyisiqalo seqhwa. Kuningi okungaphansi kobuso.
Ngemva kwamahora, uChloe ugoba esihlalweni sakhe futhi ibhulukwe lakhe liyashintsha lisuka ekubeni yisigqila liye ekubeni elibonakala liphefumulelwe yiBasquiat. Kwakuwubuciko obumsulwa futhi, ngesicelo sakhe, ingubo yayingenawo amawigi ngalolo suku. Wazamukela ngokugcwele izinwele zakhe zemvelo, isinqumo esasingamukeleki ngaso sonke isikhathi emphakathini.
Edolobheni lase-Atlanta, eGeorgia (eMableton, uma ngikhuluma iqiniso), uChloe uqala ukuhlola izisekelo zesithombe sakhe. Esemncane, yena nodadewabo omncane uHolly badonsa ukunaka kwabazali babo ngamazwi abo kanye nobuchwepheshe babo phambi kwekhamera. Ngokushesha bathunyelwa emibukisweni yamathalente endawo kanye nokuhlolwa, futhi ekugcineni bangena esikhaleni sedijithali ngokukhulula izingoma eziku-YouTube.
Kwakuphakathi nale minyaka yokuqala lapho uKhloe aqala khona ukufunda ukuthi imboni yezokuzijabulisa ingaba nonya kulabo abangahlangabezani nezindinganiso ezithile zobuhle. Nakuba le ngane eneminyaka emithathu ngaleso sikhathi yayidlala uLilly, inguqulo encane yomlingiswa kaBeyoncé ku-Fight Against Temptation, ama-ejenti abalingisi ayefuna ukuthi ukuma kwakhe kwemvelo kuthathelwe indawo isitayela sezinwele esigxile kakhulu kuma-Euro. Kuyamangaza, uma ubheka ukuthi eseyingane, uChloe wayecabanga ukuthi izinwele zakhe azihlukile kwezontanga yakhe. “Ngikhumbula ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sisesesikoleni samabanga aphansi kwakufanele sizidwebe izithombe futhi ngangizidweba nge-ponytail ejwayelekile eqondile njengoba nganginezinwele nge-ponytail,” kusho yena. “Angikaze ngizibone ngendlela ehlukile.”
UChloe wayezofunda nencazelo yangempela yalesi sisho, kamuva esaba yisitatimende esifakwe esibukweni sekamelo lakhe lokulala: “Ungavumeli umhlaba unciphise ukukhanya kwakho.” Kodwa-ke, lapho befika ezindabeni, bazohleka okokugcina “njengababili abasebasha abalukiwe” abasayine isivumelwano samadola ayisigidi neParkwood Entertainment futhi bathola ukunakekelwa okufiselekayo ngaphansi kokuqeqeshwa yinkanyezi edumile emhlabeni wonke i-Opportunity.
Nakuba lokhu kungaba ukuphela kwendaba enhle yokuziqinisekisa, iqiniso liwukuthi lokhu kumane nje kuyisiqalo sendaba yakhe yokuziphendukela kwemvelo. Kwamantombazane amaningi, ukushintshela ekubeni ngowesifazane kwenzeka ngokunethezeka kwezwe lawo, okuvame ukulinganiselwa yinani labantu abavumela ukufinyelela kubo. Kodwa kuChloe, kwenzeka phambi kwezigidi zabantu abagxekayo ababelinde ithuba lokumphakamisa noma ukumhlaziya ngamazwana angenasisekelo.
Abantu abaningi abasesikhundleni sakhe abakwazi ukumelana nalolu hlobo lokucindezeleka. Kodwa uChloe ukusingatha kahle. “Nginomuzwa wokuthi sonke singabantu futhi sinelungelo lokuhumusha izinto ngendlela esiyifunayo,” kusho yena. “Ngikhulula ubuciko emhlabeni futhi ngilinde ukuhunyushwa. Ngaqaphela ukuthi ngeke ngithandwe yiwo wonke umuntu njalo, futhi lokho kulungile.”
UChloe akayena umculi wokuqala ukugxekwa ngokudla okungcolile, futhi ngokuqinisekile akayena owokugcina. Ngo-2010, lapho uCiara oneminyaka engu-24 ubudala ethumela ividiyo yakhe ethi “Ride”, walwa ne-BET wabe eseya ekudingisweni. Ngo-2006, uBeyoncé oneminyaka engu-25 ubudala wabhekana nokugxekwa ngoDeja Vu.
Kangangokuthi abalandeli abangaphezu kuka-5,000 basayine isicelo esiku-inthanethi esicela inkampani yokuqopha ukuthi yenze kabusha ividiyo ngoba "ingcolile kakhulu". Ngisho noJanet oneminyaka engu-27 ubudala waba sematheni lapho eshintsha ukubukeka kwakhe okumsulwa wathatha ukubukeka okungcolile kakhulu kumagazini kaJanet ka-1993.
Kwabalingisi abamnyama be-R&B, ukusolwa esidlangalaleni kwabonakala kuyindlela eqinisekile yokuthola udumo. Amantombazane amahle abonakala “ephenduka amabi” uma emukela ukujula kobufazi, futhi abalandeli bakuthanda ngokomfanekiso kuphela. Kodwa uChloe ufunde ukungalaleli umbono womunye umuntu, kodwa ukulawula intuthuko yomlando. Njengoba isisho sithi, kunzima ngowesifazane omuhle ukungena emlandweni. Uma ubulili buyisikhali sakhe, ubusebenzisa kahle.
Eqoqweni, uKhloe waveza amandla ka-Aphrodite egqoke ingubo ebomvu ye-apula evulekile enesikhala esiphezulu. Phakathi kwezithombe, ukhuluma amazwi e-“Boomerang” kaYebba, aphindaphindwa njalo futhi ngokuphindaphindiwe kulo lonke isikhala ngokusikisela kwami. Sekuhlwile, kodwa uChloe uyafudumala njengoba amehlo akhe ebuka intombazane eshayo.
Ngomculo, uhlola ukujula kobuntu bakhe, uhambo olubonakala lusekelwe ekuzitholeni. Ngenkathi i-albhamu yabo yokuqala ethi The Kids Are Alright (2018) ifaka uChloe noHalle abasebasha, okuvumela isizukulwane sabo ukuba sizamukele ngokuthola indawo yabo emhlabeni, kanti i-albhamu yabo yesibili ethi Ungodly Hour (2020) ikhombisa odade baseBailey belahla ubumsulwa babo ukuze bathole isibindi esingenaphutha.
Abalandeli babheke phambili kuKhloe eveza ukuthi ungubani ku-albhamu yakhe yokuqala eyedwa, i-In Pieces. Engxoxweni nePeople, uvumile ukuthi ukukhipha iphrojekthi yakhe yokuqala ngaphandle kukadadewabo “kwakusabisa”. “Kwakuyisikhathi sokungazethembi futhi ngacabanga, ‘Ngingakwenza lokhu ngaphandle kukadadewethu?’”
UKhloe akakaze abe namahloni ngokwabelana ngokungaqiniseki kwakhe noma ubuthakathaka bakhe, futhi konke kubonakala ku-albhamu enezingoma ezingu-14. “Ngithemba ukuthi abantu bayakujabulela ukulalela lokhu futhi baqaphele ukuthi ababodwa nokuthi kulungile ukuba sengozini nokuvuleleka nokukhululeka ngoba akekho kithi ophelele; sonke sikude nakho. Ngicabanga ukuthi uma sonke sikuvuma, kuyikhambi uma kungaphezu nje kokungabi yinto engokoqobo.”
Ngesipho sesikhathi, lo ozibiza ngokuthi “Girl in Love” usenezigigaba zothando nezibuhlungu kakhulu. Izingoma zothando ezazike zahlatshelelwa kuma-riff nama-melodies amahle zazingasezona nje izingoma ezingaqondakali, kodwa zathathelwa indawo yizinto zangempela, ngokusho kwakhe, ezazihlala zikhona emculweni.
Isibonelo, ku-single yakhe ethi “Pray It Away”, ucabanga ngokufuna ukuphulukiswa kuNkulunkulu kunokuziphindiselela kumuntu ayethandana naye wangaphambili ngenxa yokungathembeki kwakhe. “Ngisengozini enkulu kunoma yini ehlobene nobuciko,” esho. “Nginguye ngokuphelele enginguye futhi ngisobala ngokuphelele. Ngakho-ke yilokho engiyikho futhi engiyikho manje.”
Ingabe uChloe ubesebudlelwaneni? Lokhu akukashiwo. Impela, uxhumene nabanye abantu abangaba ngabathandi, kodwa ukuthandana kule nkathi yedijithali akulula njengokuthinta kabili noma ukuphonsa i-emoji yenhliziyo. Lokhu kudinga izinga lokuthembana kanye nokuba sengozini okunzima ukukuthola futhi okulula ukukuhlukumeza. Ukumcela ukuthi ayeke ukuqapha kungase kumdumaze. “Ngempela, ukuthandana kunzima njengamanje ngoba kufanele uqaphele futhi unake ukuthi ubani okuzungezile ngempela. Uyazi, ngingumuntu oqotho, futhi ngithanda kakhulu.”
"Ngakho-ke uma ngihlangana nomuntu engimthanda ngempela, ngiba nesikhathi esinzima sokubona abanye abantu futhi ngivame ukunamathelana. Uyazi, angazi,... kubi kakhulu."
Nakuba izinhliziyo eziphukile zenza umculo omnandi (u-Adele emugqeni), imithandazo kaChloe imayelana nokuphishekela injabulo. Ukuthi ibukeka kanjani. Nokho, usayithola yena. “Ngempela, ngingumuntu ofunda izinto ngempela ngokuzibona nje. Ngakho-ke ngingabona futhi ngibheke abazali bami futhi ngibheke ubudlelwano bothando engibubona empilweni yami futhi kufana nokuthi, “O, ngiyayifuna. Ngingathanda ukuba nayo. Kodwa futhi kufanele ngizihlole [uthando] ukuze ngibone ukuthi amaphutha noma amaphutha ami angaba yini, noma ukubona ukuthi amandla ami angakanani. Nginomuzwa wokuthi kungokoqobo. Kumayelana nokuzicabangela. … Ngisho noma isisekelo sethu singumndeni wethu, leso yisisekelo sethu, sisengumuntu wethu futhi kufanele sithole ezinye izinto ngathi ezingase zihluke kulokho esakhula nakho. Abazali bakubona ngendlela ehlukile.”
Ungitshele ukuthi isoka lakhe elifanele lingumuntu azizwa ephephile naye ukuze abe mnandi futhi abe yisiwula, kodwa futhi omnika ithuba lokuba yinkosikazi ephethe amaphupho akhe. Indoda eqonda lokhu, ngoba nje umhlaba uyayidumisa, akusho ukuthi ayifuni ukuzwa la mazwi emlonyeni wayo noma ukuwazwa ekuthinteni kwayo. Bekuyoba kuhle ukube ifike esitezi ngemuva kosuku olunzima emsebenzini nama-vegan cinnamon rolls. Uyazi, izinto ezibalulekile. “Ngiyakuthanda lapho abantu enginabo behlala bengitshela ukuthi bayangithanda nokuthi ngibukeka kahle ngoba nami ngibukeka kahle. Ngifuna wonke umuntu engisebenza naye enze okufanayo, avuleke kakhulu. Ngitshele ukuthi uyangithanda. Ngitshele ukuthi uthanda ini ngami ngoba nami ngenza okufanayo kuwe ngoba ngingumuntu onjalo.”
Wayeshade nomdlalo ngaphambi kokuba ahlangane nomlingani wakhe, futhi njengoba kunjalo, kubonakala sengathi umshado ophelele.
Esiteji kuma-American Music Awards ka-2021, uKhloe waqinisa isimo sakhe njengamandla okufanele abhekwe. Lesi yisikhathi esiphelele. Ngo-2012, uChloe noHolly abanamehlo akhanyayo, abanobuso obuncane bangena eqoqweni le-The Ellen DeGeneres Show futhi bashaqisa izilaleli ngokucula izingoma ezivela kubacebisi babo besikhathi esizayo. U-Ellen wanika odade amathikithi e-AMA futhi wathembisa ukuthi bazobuya futhi babe nekusasa eliqhakazile. Eminyakeni eyisishiyagalolunye kamuva, uChloe wabonakala okokuqala, ehla esibhakabhakeni egqoke ingubo emhlophe njengeqhwa kanye ne-bodysuit ehambisanayo. Lesi yisikhathi sakhe sokuqala esiteji emcimbini womklomelo futhi ubelokhu ekhona ezilalelini ngaphambili.
Kusobala ukuthi usesimeni sakhe njengoba ethuthumela futhi eshaya indlwabu njengoba ebala kuze kube yisishiyagalombili. Njengokusebenza kwakhe kwe-VMA ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, futhi njengoba eqhubeka nokwenza kwezinye izigaba eziningi, uletha amandla amqhathanisa noQueen Bey othandwa kakhulu. Kuyisimangalo esihloniphekile uma ubheka ukuthi bambalwa kangakanani abaculi be-R&B abathola udumo ngamakhono abo okuzijabulisa. Kwakukulezo zigaba, phambi kwamakhulu amehlo amangala nezigidi zabantu ababuka i-TV ekhaya, lapho angitshela khona ukuthi uzizwa enamandla kakhulu.
Akazange athonywe nje kuphela yimibono mayelana nesithombe sakhe kanye namahemuhemu akhushulwa abezindaba. Engqondweni, uncintisana naye. Isifiso sokuba ngcono kunalokho angaba yikho sishisa ekhanda lakhe ngayo yonke imisebenzi, yonke imibukiso kanye nesikhathi ngasinye lapho engena ehhovisi. Ngaphambilini, wayengabelana ngalo mthwalo nodadewabo. Ukuba yingxenye yabadlali ababili kwakusho ukuthi angaphendukela kuHolly ukuze athole isikhuthazo esithule ngaphandle kokushintshana nezwi elilodwa. Kodwa ukuya esiteji muva nje kwakusho ukuhamba yedwa. Ngisho noma uKhloe eyinkanyezi emangalisayo eqokwe kahlanu kuGrammy, akagwemi iqiniso lokuthi ngezinye izikhathi singaba ngabagxeki bethu ababi kakhulu.
Ngonyaka odlule, uzamukele njengoba enjalo, ngenkathi enqoba ukwesaba ukungabi yilokho ayehloselwe ukuba yikho. Ngenkathi umhlaba ulindele ukubona uChloe enqoba, ukunqoba kwangempela kusezinsukwini azikhethela zona futhi uyaqhubeka nokuqhubekela phambili emigomweni yakhe nsuku zonke. “Ngempela, angikwazi ukucabanga ngalutho.
