The 2014 edition of the ‘Get Naked’ campaign kicked off with a closed shoot in April, which held at Ovation Magazine head office in Lagos, Nigeria. The closed shoot had famous faces such as Tee A, Ashionye, MTV VJ - Ehiz, Taofick Okoya, 2013 Elite Model Winner Nneoma Anosike, Vector, Nikki Laoye, Bassey Ikpi, Zaina and many more getting naked for the initiative, with Sunmisola Olorunisola as the official photographer for the campaign.
‘Get Naked’ is a creative photo campaign created by SheiFunmi Nomia-Yusuf to raise awareness about the risks of the incurable HIV/AIDS disease
amongst teenagers and young adults. This initiative is primarily a
result of the social and psychological stigma associated with the HIV virus as well as the AIDS disease.
The aim of this initiative is evident in it’s tagline: Go “BOLD” and “BARE”….protect yourself!
As Nigerian youths, we know people that live with this disease undergo
prejudice as well as stigmatization and as a result, disclosure is less
and risks of infection are high.
Speaking about #GetNaked2014, the founder SheiFunmi Nomia-Yusuf shared; “I
intend to take this campaign to different cities in different countries
because this is a creative and fun way to get your message across to
youths today, imagine the amount of lives that will be touched with a
campaign as creative as this. The destination this year is Nigeria, who
knows where the next edition will take place?”
