Published on June 18, 2020, Brenda Wairimu, a talented actress, has been a familiar face on our screens in various movies and series. However, despite her charming smile, she has been insecure about her teeth for a long time.
According to her recent social media post, Brenda's insecurity about her teeth dates back to her primary school days. She shared a story about a story reading competition at the library in Mombasa, where a boy told her that the baby he was holding didn't like people with brown rabbit teeth.
'I was in primary school, we were at a story reading competition at the library in Mombasa…out the corner of my eye, I spotted a cute baby, one of the boys from our “brother school” that we did music festivals with was holding the baby. I rushed over and asked if I could hold her, the boy looked right at me and told me the baby doesn’t like people with brown rabbit teeth. And that….is why I rarely smile in pictures to this day😩😩😩 Guess what…I won that reading competition 🤣🤣🤣🤣’
Her post sparked a conversation in the comment section, with many people sharing their own insecurities. One lady confessed to having a big gap in her teeth, which makes her uncomfortable when meeting new people.
However, many others encouraged Brenda to keep smiling, telling her that she looks better with a smile on. Her post serves as a reminder that we all have our own insecurities, but we shouldn't let them hold us back.
