Tracy, on the other hand, has been a vocal advocate for body positivity. She won the title of Miss Plus Size Kenya 2019, a first of its kind, and has been using her platform to promote self-love and acceptance. In an interview, Tracy shared her journey, saying, 'I have always struggled with my weight and tried all sorts of diets and regimes which only worked short term and then piled right back on. About two years ago I had a meeting with myself and decided to love what I saw in the mirror and not hold myself back from anything I wanted to pursue.'
Miss Plus Kenya is more than just a beauty pageant; it's a movement that aims to break down societal norms and promote body acceptance. The organization has been working tirelessly to create a platform for curvy women to express themselves confidently and celebrate their beauty.
