NAY NAY TOO BOMB is a contemporary woman that mirrors today's biggest stars in the music industry. They're strong, bold, not afraid to speak their mind, and simply want to be themselves. The question is, are they themselves or is this an image created by a male gaze for capitalism? The images we often see of entertainers are those of elevated and impractical beauty standards, usually including extensive photo retouching and expensive plastic surgery that rakes in billions of dollars across the globe every year. This consistent, unrealistic imagery is proven to have a negative effect on a woman's body image, self-esteem, and their perception of beauty.

Our statement is to be yourself and to know that you are beautiful and worthy both inside and out regardless if society shows or tells you differently!
