Nyakim Gatwech is a South Sudanese model, whose stunning pictures have earned her the internet’s love and the nickname ‘Queen of Darkness.’ Nyakim currently lives in the United States, and is pursuing a career in modelling. She has more than 50,000 Instagram followers, who she always encourages to embrace their skin colour and body. She uses her account to talk about body positivity and being not only comfortable, but proud, in one’s skin. Nyakim has also spoken up about bullying and the negative reactions she receives from people about her natural skin colour.
She recently described an incident, where an Uber driver pointedly asked her about bleaching her skin to make it lighter. “I was asked by my Uber driver the other day, ‘Don’t take this offensive but if you were given 10 thousand dollars would you bleach your skin for that amount (sic)?” she posted on Instagram in late march. “I couldn’t even respond I started laughing so hard. He said, ‘So that a no’ and I was like hell to the f*king yeah that’s a no.” (Source)
do waitresses know that i love them and appreciate everything they do
i had the nicest waitress today who told me my outfit was cute and i wish i was rich cuz I would’ve tipped her so much more if I could
If you ever actually wanna help your waitress out, ask to speak to their manager before you leave and then tell the manager how awesome they are.
Trust me, it makes a difference. Servers who get compliments from guests and customers get better hours, and the more you’re liked by the people who come in the more forgiving the bosses are when shit goes awry (say if you’re sick or you have a flat so you’re late, etc).
Tell the manager. Do it! Aside from tipping it’s one of the best things you can do for us. Tell the manager you thought we were great. Tell the manager that we’re the reason you’re gonna come back. Talk us up! It’s a little like job security - if you tell the manager we’re the reason you’re here, they’re gonna be a lot more reluctant to let us go because then they’re losing your business, and they don’t want that.
