What Does ‘Demure’ Really Mean?
The term “demure” is primarily used as an adjective to describe a person, typically a woman or girl, who exhibits a quiet, modest, polite, and reserved demeanor. While many people have heard the word for the first time, it has been stated for nearly seven centuries now.
Jools Lebron, the creator of the ‘very demure‘ and ‘very mindful‘ trend expressed that her intentions were of being playful and had nothing to do with the ‘trend’ but more of making a self-awareness & being confident statement! For Jools, “demure” is not just a saying but a lifestyle. It reflects her style & identity as a trans woman.
She also encourages others to define “demure” for themselves while being mindful and considerate of others.
How Did “Very Demure, Very Mindful” Start?
The ‘very demure very mindful’ catchphrase began from a reel where Jools spoke with the words “How to be demure at work.” She began, “See how I come to work. Very demure. I do my make-up. I lay my wig. I do a little braid. I do chee chee out. I do viral vanilla. Very demure, very mindful. Let’s not forget to be demure, divas.”
“You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure. Very mindful,” Jools said in the August 5 video. “I don’t come to work with a green-cut crease. I don’t look like a clown when I go to work. I don’t do too much. I’m very mindful while I’m at work. You see how I look very presentable?“
“The way I came to the interview is the way I go to the job. A lot of you girls go to the interview looking like Marge Simpson and go to the job looking like Patty and Selma. Not demure. I’m very modest. I’m very mindful,” she added.
The video went viral just a few hours after it was posted, quickly catching attention for her no-nonsense facts and her ‘demure’ charm!
