Kenyan digital creator Pritty Vishy has spoken honestly about the many years she struggled with body shaming.
She says the harsh words from friends, family, society, and even religious leaders hurt her deeply and affected her confidence.
In a heartfelt message shared online, Vishy revealed that the criticism made her doubt herself and feel ashamed of her body.
She explained that the pain was worse because it came from people she trusted the most.
“I have been body shamed by family, friends, people I thought were my best friends, society, and even your ‘man of God,’” she said.
Although she often looks confident in public and on social media, Vishy admitted she hid her true feelings.
She avoided wearing bikinis and felt uncomfortable even around close friends, covering herself to hide what she saw as flaws.
She added that only women who have faced similar challenges can understand the emotional weight of being constantly judged for their bodies.
Despite the difficulties, Vishy is learning to accept herself and rebuild her confidence.
Many of her fans have praised her courage to share her story, highlighting the importance of kindness and self-love.
