Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James gained significant attention after responding to a critic who targeted her appearance. In light of this, BBNaija star Vee has emphasized the significance of self-acceptance.
On October 25, 2024, Vee shared a video on her TikTok account, encouraging individuals to appreciate their authentic selves, as everyone else is already accounted for. She articulated her view that those who criticize the appearances of others often harbor insecurities about their own looks and project these feelings onto others.
“We are in an era where people want to change everything about themselves just because they don’t like it. And I genuinely feel like that is not normal. You are free to change your appearance, but I feel like we need to start being honest about that kind of lifestyle. You can’t say you are confident and then change everything about yourself. The reality of those things is that age will always defeat you. It’s his common knowledge,” she explained.
Vee recounted her personal journey towards self-acceptance, highlighting the challenges she faced along the way. However, she has ultimately come to view herself as perfectly complete just as she is.
“Now, one thing I’ve always said about myself is that I have no interest in changing the way I look. I am a straight-bodied girl. I don’t have hips. I don’t have curves. I don’t have a big bum. My top half is bigger than my bottom half. And it’s something I have Learned to accept over time. Was it difficult? Yes. But I always say your self awareness is something that nobody can take away from you,” she said in part.
The reality television personality urged her audience to cultivate self-love and to fully accept their true selves.
“I feel like I’m perfect the way I am. And I hope and pray there is someone that’s watching this and they believe they’re perfect the way they are, too…You’re perfect the way you are. Go outside without makeup. Take that filter off. At the end of the day when you step outside, we all gonna see how you look in real life. Sorry. So if you like, put the face app down. Put the face app down. Thank you,” she said.
