Fashion designer Veekee James has sparked conversation after sharing her no-nonsense advice for single men and women looking to find a life partner.

Her message was direct: stop waiting at home and start showing up. Veekee called out a common mindset among Christian women who believe a husband will simply find them without any effort on their part.
"You're just wasting your beauty. You are too beautiful to be hiding. You're just in the house. Every time they want to go out, you're not ready to go out," she said, drawing laughter and agreement from the audience.
She urged women to be visible, confident, and unafraid to put themselves in social settings. "Do shakara. Make them see you. Show yourself to the world," she added.
Both Men and Women Must Be Intentional
Veekee was quick to balance her message, stressing that the responsibility is not only on women.
She pushed back against the idea that men are exempt from making an effort, insisting that single men also need to step into spaces where they can meet potential partners.
"It's not every time it's as if only women should be doing the work. We too, we are the price," she said, before redirecting her words to the men in attendance. "Uncle, you too, be coming to where we are going so that we will see you there."
She wrapped up her thoughts with a blend of faith and practicality, likening intentionality to jumping a prayer queue.
"A lot of people are asking God for a husband. But action might bring you to the front of the list. I believe that God has many children. But when I want God to do something for me, I always tell him, prioritise me."
Her final word of advice was simple: "Singles should definitely be intentional about putting themselves out there. Don't just sit in the house. And God will do the rest."
