The term “Ìwàlẹwà” comes from the Yoruba language spoken by the Yoruba people of Nigeria, West Africa. The literal translation of “Iwalewa” is “character is beauty.” However, a deeper exploration of the term reveals a more profound meaning.
The word “Iwa” can be translated as “character” while “Lewa” means “beauty.” In the Yoruba culture, the concept of Iwalewa emphasizes the importance of inner qualities, such as integrity, empathy, and moral uprightness, as the true measure of a person’s beauty. It signifies that a person’s worth and attractiveness stem from their character and the way they conduct themselves, rather than from their physical appearance.
Iwalewa serves as a guiding principle for individuals in the Yoruba community, encouraging them to prioritize the cultivation of their inner qualities and values over external appearances. The cultural concept highlights the timeless wisdom of valuing substance over superficiality and appreciating the genuine beauty that comes from a person’s character.
