Kenyan medical practitioner based in the USA Nurse Judy, also known as Mom Teyian candidly discussed her unease with growing up curvaceous. She attributes her journey to self-love and acceptance of her voluptuous figure to the attention she received from men.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Judy shared a video featuring American socialite and reality TV show star Nene twerking. In the video, Nene recounted her experience of being dumped by her then-boyfriend for having a smaller behind, only to later undergo a voluptuous glow-up.
"You know actually something interesting, even when I was small bodied I used to have a thick nyash, I remember my mom kept slapping my bottoms and would ask "hii tumatako ya wajaluo ulitoa na wapi?" Started off the medical practitioner.
Did you read this?
Which loosely translates to;
"Such big behinds are for people from the lakeside (Luo community) where did you get the thickness from?"
Mom Teyian continued to reminisce about how she used to feel embarrassed about her thick and full backside, not considering it attractive at all. Reflecting on those times, Judy walked down memory lane and emphasized how she used to seek answers from her mom whenever the subject came up.
"And I would be like mommy, you birthed me you can explain to me instead, & interestingly I never used to like it," Nurse Judy recalled.
On how she finally came to love and embrace her curvaceous body, which is the envy of many, Judy credited men for that. I know, I also cringed a lot. The nurse highlighted that men starting to idolize big bundas gave her the confidence boost she needed and now her once "embarrassing" behind, is half of her social media personality.
She also credited social media for putting a spotlight on thick girls and elevating big behinds to a pedestal.
"I only came to appreciate my big nyash when social media & men started making it a big deal to have a thick nyash,
Otherwise mimi I used to feel ni kama kukua na matanye (as if having a curvaceous big behind) was embarrassing I don't even know why I had such a perception," the last of her post read.
