Famous young songbird Nikita Kering’ has come out guns blazing to rebuke body shamers for calling her body anything but perfect.
The young fast rising star makes it clear that she makes no apologies for fiercely loving her body. For such a young talent, the beauty was blessed with brains beyond her years. Beauty and brains for the win.
Here’s the photo that sparked the online debate. She wore a crop top and looked effortlessly fabulous but people still had negative comments to make.
Body positivity is a message that should be preached far and wide. Body positivity is a social movement rooted in the belief that all human beings should have a positive body image, while challenging the ways in which society presents and views the physical body. The movement advocates the acceptance of all bodies no matter the form, size, or appearance.
Believing in one’s own beauty physically has become a rebellious move in a society that tries as much as possible to kick people down. It’s no wonder the suicide rates are on an all time high.
To love oneself, wholly and completely is revolutionary in this day and age. It’s like throwing up the middle finger to the police. Young girls are the biggest victims. They are socialized from a young age to strive and please society at the cost of their happiness. This would be tolerable if only society’s standards weren’t so damn high and frankly, immaginary.
To expect a woman to always keep a wasp waist and hourglass figure and she has to bear children is absurd. Gone are the days fat was praised, today it is praised cautiously. In specific places only, and a gram more brands you the name ‘obese’. People have a cruel sense of humor that has the ability to change someones whole outlook on life.
The middle finger is necessary to cope with all the negative energy around. Nikita boldly proclaims:
‘Girl you’ve got to love and embrace your body. Bashing it is not gonna help!’
Body positivity pertains not only to not giving a sh*t about society’s opinions but to take good care of the body as well. That means different things to different people. To some it includes feeding it well, maintaining a good lifestyle, dressing it well. For some, it includes massages and regular exercise. Whatever makes you feel most beautiful on your own terms, do that!
‘Eat well, hydrate yourself. You’re what you make yourself so love yourself!’
It’s literally the only one you have, your literal home.
From her previous pictures, it’s easy to tell that the lass is in awe of her body and that she loves fashion and make-up as well.
