Beyoncé once poignantly remarked, "try to fix something that you can't see but it's the soul that needs the surgery."

As a child, I adorned school portraits with a smile that held the innocence of youth, blissfully unaware of societal standards. From tomboyish ensembles to toothy grins adorned with remnants of childhood indulgences, each snapshot painted a canvas

of authenticity. My journey was not defined by conventional norms but rather by the courage to embrace my individuality.

 


The ebb and flow of life sculpted my physique, leaving imprints of transformation along the way. From the slender frames of youth to the curves of motherhood, each phase whispered tales of resilience and adaptability. Weight fluctuations became not markers of inadequacy, but rather chapters in a narrative of self-discovery and acceptance.
