Maureen Kunga opens up about having ‘negative thoughts’ about her body

Maureen Kunga recently took to Instagram on February 2 to open up about something we all go through: having insecurities about our bodies.

According to the lady, for years she tried to hide her smile thanks to her gummy smile. In the detailed post shared on her page, Ms Kunga went on to reveal how much she used to hate her smile as she wrote;

I used to HATE my smile ???? Hate it. Because my teeth are small and my gums show, and in Hollywood and all these other places where they try to set beauty standards for us, ALL you see is TEETH! ????

Embracing herself

But with time, Maureen has since learnt how to appreciate herself and so far; she has no problem with her smile. To prove this, the lady shared a never seen before photo where she captioned;

Only recently am I starting to learn how beautiful we really are when the emotions are genuine. And this is a VERY genuine smile ???? also shout out to the guy holding the umbrella. Because it was HOT! ????

Well truth is, nobody can love you better than yourself; and when these negative thoughts happen, it’s important to have compassion for yourself. Just know that you’re not alone in this battle.
