is one of the beauty world's most vibrant, inspiring voices, but when HELLO! spoke with the celebrated journalist, brand founder and all-around inspiration, it wasn't to talk blush and lipstick.beauty segments, Ateh spoke to HELLO! to talk about the health wake-up call that changed her life.
Though Ateh had been experiencing shaking, vomiting and diarrhoea, it was when she noticed a change in her skin that she went to see her GP about her symptoms."My pores were enlarged and I knew that wasn't normal for my skin. My doctor diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes – and it wasn't a huge surprise. I'd always eaten my feelings, and sugar was my go-to drug.
"As women, we're taught to be good daughters, friends, wives and mothers and to put ourselves at the bottom of our list of priorities, but becoming unwell forced me into addressing my wellness routine to heal my body. I surrounded myself with tools and tricks to heal – these are what saved me."I love to do ballet with my ballet instructor, Karis Scarlette.
