Star musician, Omawumi, has acknowledged some imperfections in her body structure.
She, however, sees no reason to allow such to bother her again, though she notes they used to be a source of concern to her.
According to her, she has knock knees and wild stretch marks.
In an online statement, she recalls how she was mocked as a child based on her big head.
She notes, “I was one of those kids they used to call ‘Hammer Headed’, ‘OGORstina’ and ‘Ekpengbe forehead’.
“In fact, one of my aunts used to call me ‘Beauty’. She said she was using it to prophecy into my life that I will be pretty someday.
“Well, there was a time I allowed it get to me. There was a time that I couldn’t step out without being heavily decked up in makeup. I would do all manners of things to hide my flaws because I felt imperfect.
“Now the only thing that has changed is that I’m madly in love with my imperfect me, with my ekpengbe forehead, with my knock knees, with my cellulites and stretch marks like map of Africa!
“I’m in love with my skin and everything within. And guess what? I can still decide to change or hide a flaw because that too is okay!
“What I won’t do is allow anybody’s perception of me direct the decisions I make for myself. I am beautiful. You are beautiful too!”
