Today’s world is one that embraces high cheekbones, thigh gaps, toned arms, thin legs and flat bellies. Women are bombarded with characteristics of “the perfect body”, which, of course, causes insecurities, self-consciousness and self-loathing if you don’t have those features. So it’s only an inspiration to see someone celebrate the beauty they have, instead of slaving away to look like the rest.
“Stop perpetuating the idea that being open with your curvy body is somehow a shameful thing because it isn’t.” This is the Instagram bio of social media star and celeb photographer Lesego Legobane. Known as Thick Leeyonce, the Wits Political Science major is famed for her fearless fashion and statement-making shots. What we read from her pics? Your body is perfection already. We also get a lot of fashion inspiration from her killer style looks and can’t help but envy her collection of swimsuits!
Even though she has received a lot of social media hate for her figure, Leeyonce stands stronger and more beautiful than ever before. You go girl! Thank you for being our#MondayMuse
