“Love your flaws and nourish yourself” – Venita says, shows off stretchmarks in new inspirational post
Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality star, Venita Akpofure, has taken to social media to encourage others about self-love and self-acceptance.
In a recent post shared to her Instagram page, the Pepper Dem ex-housemate and actress, revealed she didn’t edit the photos.
In the photo, the British/Nigerian mum of two sports an African print bikini which showed off a bit of some belly stretch marks around the navel.
Venita in a lengthy caption talked about learning to love and accept herself completely. She also advised people to embrace their flaws and block out negative vibes.
She wrote:
“Before I repost this archived pic…I decided not to edit it I wanted to share with my fellow women that it’s ok to celebrate your body flaws and all any way you feel you need and want to. I’m 34. I have two children. I have stretch marks and occasionally suffer from hormonal acne & anxiety. I hate to wear makeup on a normal day (when I’m not working).
I love wigs and extensions but I prefer my natural hair now that I’ve grown to love every inch of who I am. And it took me a LONG time. Like a plant, you must always nourish yourself and feed yourself things that are good for your mind spirit and body. Block out the naysayers…it’s their insecurities that they deflect on you. That is no reflection of who you are. Love your flaws & exercise your strengths. Pray on the rest. It will always follow. to all the mothers who make it happen every day no matter what. “
