TV and show host, Bolanle Olukanni has showed off her stretch marks and revealed how it affected her confidence at a young age.
Many have applauded her audacity as younger folks have decided to always celebrate their own bodies regardless of what people say.
Sharing lovely new photos, she wrote;
"I first got stretch marks on my shoulders when I had my first Growth spurt . I was probably 12. All my friends would wear tank tops and spaghetti tops and I felt like I had to cover my shoulders. It affected my confidence during my teenage years and I spent my early early adulthood hiding my shoulders. Well , I finally got over it and I realized it’s not a big deal . So to women and men who have stretch marks and feel self-conscious about it ...please don’t - you are beautiful no matter what ! #beautylook #growingpains #stretchmarks #flawsandall"
In the age of social media, people who have stretch marks, people who are obese and those who appear extremely slim get bullied online.
