Published on June 24, 2020, Rue Baby, a model and daughter of Akothee, has spoken candidly about her experiences with body image.
As a child, she faced ridicule from her peers, who called her 'thin' and 'sticks.'
However, Rue Baby's perspective shifted when she began to appreciate her unique features.
‘Growing up, I never really appreciated being called thin or sticks,' she said. 'I had a hard time accepting my body the way it is.'
But with time, she realized that her petite frame was a part of what made her special.
‘But then I realized it's what is unique about me and I started loving it,' she said. 'So about your various body insecurities, just own them and love them.'
Her message of self-acceptance and self-love is one that many can relate to, especially in a society where beauty standards are often unattainable.
