Beautiful tall lady struggles to find love because of her height (photos)

- A British woman identified as Jade Slavin, has admitted she hasn't been able to find love due to her height

- Standing at 6ft 4inches, Slavin who is a Brit gold medalist revealed that it has been tough finding men taller than her

- Slavin who used to be bullied for her height, has risen to become one of Britains most successful athletes

A gift and a curse is probably how Jade Slavin would describe her height. The 26-year-old athlete who's height measures at 6ft 4inches may have brought several championships to her country, but it appears her love life isn't exactly winning.

Slavin who faced a lot of bullying growing up, revealed that she hasn't always loved her height. She stated that she has been called ugly, a freak and heard some girls make cruel jokes about her heights.

However, all that changed when she was offered a place to represent Team GB in taekwondo at the age of 21. She went on to win the Commonwealth Championships in Glasgow in 2014, and made two world championships and European championships.

Speaking on how her sport career changed things for her, she said: "Since I joined Team GB, I was proud of who I am and representing my country. I was proud to be tall as I would not have been where I was if I was not tall.It brought me a lot of success and now when people make comments in the street and think I can't hear them I just smile at them and it makes them feel a bit silly that I heard them. But most of the time people make nice comments and are amazed by my height."

Slavin also spoke about the difficulty in finding clothes her sizes or even dating: "One of the main struggles I face is finding clothes to fit my extremely long legs. Not many shops offer tall sections and if they do there is not much choice. Another struggle is dating as I like boys to be the same height or taller than me and there aren't many tall boys in my area."

Advising others who may feel insecure about her bodies, she stated:"Don't ever let anyone bring you down. I spent so much time hating myself and would cry to my mum wishing I was 'normal'. But embrace being different. It has brought me so much success being tall which I would not have achieved if I was smaller. Embrace who you are and don't let anybody dull your sparkle."

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
