Veteran actress Omotola Jolade-Ekehinde opens up about undergoing emergency surgery late last year, highlighting the importance of self-love and body positivity.
In an Instagram post, the actress posted a video from her 47th birthday photoshoot, showing off her post-surgery scars. She mentioned that self-love is the greatest Valentine’s gift for individuals.
She shared how she had thoughts that nearly dampened her mood during her photoshoot but overcame it with confidence because the situation that would shake her confidence hadn’t been created.
In her words,
“Loving Yourself first is the greatest Val gift. Late Last year I had an Emergency Surgery… One of my Best parts of my body is my Tummy … Oh well … Not so perfect now…
During this shoot I forgot and grabbed my top during my pose and I heard a little voice say … there’s nothing to show anymore… Not me ! That thing that’ll shake my Confidence has Not been created . I smiled and danced. I’m Alive … it’s just scars. Some people’s Scars are Physical and Some are Emotional … but today , smile, dance and be proud Beautiful, You’re still here and you look darn good too ! What if I’m not perfect . Would you still Love me ? ❤️.”
