TV girl, Latasha Ngwube shared photos of herself in a one-piece swim suit and spoke about all the times she was made to feel shame because her body did not conform to societal standard of beauty.
Latasha said she is directing her body positivity message to someone out there feeling inadequate because of their body.
She wrote:
Sooooo many things I wish I could say to my younger self.
So many times I should have honored this body I was blessed with but I allowed friends, lovers, sometimes even family and total strangers shame me or put me in a corner because I did not look like them or conform to their standard of beauty. I gave them power to bestow Doubt on me, my abilities, my purpose and my mission. Therefore, I assumed, there must be something wrong with me! I could care less about the likes on this post… I just want ONE person out there to not waste his/her life feeling sorry for him/herself when you could be out here changing YOUR narrative and going after your dreams. I changed my mindset.
Now look at me today…
