Here are ten pearl's of wisdom from ThickLeeyonce that left us inspired.
ON LOVING HERSELF
I saw how my pretty friends got treated differently and I decided I needed to learn to love myself.
I created my own beauty standards. Who are other people to tell us what is beautiful?
ON THE HATE
I'm human and I go through my own things in life.
You can't have a fat mom and be calling me fat. What does that say about you?
ON HER HEALTH
I have skinny friends who smoke and eat pizza and people have the audacity to ask me about my health.
Health has become a beauty myth. I eat well and go to gym every day.
CELEBRATING THE FEMALE BODY
It's a myth that Africans celebrate the African women's body.
I have always celebrated the female form. And if I did judge, I realised it was because of my own issues.
ON BEING HAPPY
Happiness is a choice and I know I can go deep into my head. I choose to be happy.
I force myself to do things out of my comfort zone. It's the only way I'll feel challenged.
