Stella Damascus, the Nollywood actress and social activist, shares a personal story about her struggles with bloating and body image on social media.
In her post, she revealed she had been dealing with a bloated stomach for some time and felt insecure. However, despite her insecurities, she realized that her physical appearance did not determine her worth and value.
Damascus wrote, “A bloated stomach doesn’t change any of these: my ability to love, my talent, my kindness, my wisdom, my strength, my intelligence, my grace, my beauty, my joy, my peace, my faith, my compassion, my empathy, my generosity, my sense of humor, my creativity, my dreams, my aspirations, my hopes, my desires, my goals, my values, my character, my integrity, my dignity.”
She encouraged her followers to focus on their inner qualities and not allow their physical appearance to define their self-worth. “You are not your weight, dress size, skin color, hair texture, height, or any other external characteristic. You are so much more than that,” she wrote.
Damasus’s post received positive feedback from her fans, many of whom thanked her for being an inspiration and for speaking out about body positivity. Her message is a powerful reminder that true beauty is within, so we should all strive to love ourselves for who we are, regardless of physical appearance.
