Beauty is more than just skin deep, it’s more than the clothes we wear, more than the way we wear our hair and more than our material possessions. Our three gorgeous July cover stars and songbirds Lerato ‘Lira’ Molapo, Nhlanhla Nciza, and Moneoa Moshesh have joined Lux on their #WeAreMore movement inspiring women to embrace their inner beauty and express themselves in a true form.

Together with Lux and BONA, these three inspirational women are performing in an exclusive music experience where they will sing the #WeAreMore anthem aimed to inspire women to be more than what meets the eye.

We were lucky enough to get the three songbirds into the BONA studio to shoot our cover and we got to sit down with each of them and chat to them about what inspires them, what keeps them going and what it #WeAreMore means to them.

We have exclusive footage of behind the scenes action of the making of our July cover story in the gallery and video below.
