A mum has revealed that she showers in front of her 18yr old daughter, Dee Karanja to show what her real body looks like.
Angela explained that she has been comfortable stripping off in front of her daughter since she was a baby and sees no issue with it now that Dee is a young adult.
She also made it known that she wants her daughter to know that bodies on social media are not real.
She said: “Our bodies are the vessels that we have to live in. This is what we have, we should be happy and proud of it.
“Especially for girls, I think if we don’t show them what is real when they grow older they will get subjected to a lot of Photoshopped pictures and think they are not enough.
“My idea is to show them what is real and when they see an edited picture it doesn’t threaten them and they know they are enough.
“We should help our young people be comfortable with who they are.
“It is so nice to see the confidence in her own self as she has grown.
“We know that people have different body shapes and all sorts, don’t forget I have things falling to the south.
“It is important to show people do change.”
How she feels, her 18yr old daughter said: “This has made me feel comfortable because now I know what reality is like.
“We may not always love our bodies, but even so we should respect it because we only get one body.
“If we love our bodies then no matter what anyone says you won’t feel bad about yourself.”
Angela also made it known that she walks around the house naked first thing in the morning.
She said: “First thing in the morning, I will wake up and walk out naked to the bathroom,’ she said.
“This is me, this is who I am before I wear clothes.
“When we come to terms with who we are nothing out there threatens you.
“Confidence is not about the clothes I am wearing or the make-up I have.
“Don’t get me wrong, I wear nice clothes but it is not to conceal or make people think I am someone else.”
she continued: “People tell me that I am subjecting children to something they shouldn’t see.
“I am like, “Ok, you’re telling me that my children should not know I have breasts or a bum?”.
“When I am naked it is not like I am opening myself up. It is me, being me.
“Those who object say I should not show them my parts but children should know how to feel comfortable in themselves.”
