I’ve Never been that Overly Sexy Girl-Kemi Adetigba Says as she Shares New Photo

“I’m the clumsy sweats and sneakers girl who loves basketball.”

Kemi Adetigba in an instagram post stated that she has never been a girly-girl. She added that shat she felt intimidated by the picture of a sexy girl she saw on Instagram. Her consolation she said was the fact that she didn’t acheive all she had with her looks.

Her post below…

Saw a picture of a super hot lady this morning on Instagram, and it left me feeling a little, unusually insecure… A little “less than”. I then broke down what was making me belittle MYSELF, and they were all physical insecurities. I’ve never been that overtly sexy girl. I’m the clumsy sweats and sneakers girl who loves basketball, listens to hip-hop music, and laughs like a drunk Irish man in a bar. It doesn’t help that my 38th is in less than 2 months and tolling like a loud gong ? Don’t get me wrong, I can clean up real good… Like REAL GOOD ? but I’m always going to come off “sweet SEXY” not “jalapeño-seductress SEXY” I’m the Gabby Union, not the smoking Ashanti. I’m the Tracee Ellis Ross, not Sophia Velgara. Then God put in my spirit, did your beauty or lack thereof get you to where you are today? No. If you lost even the one you had right now, could it stop you from achieving your goals? No. Would you rather have that instead and I take all the other insanely wonderful things about you, one can’t quantify… Oh HELL NAW!!! Then why make an attribute so inconsequential shape your self esteem for the day? I literally had an “Aha!” moment within myself. I’m never gonna be the prettiest or hottest ?️ girl in the room. But Kemi, the day you need to RELY on physical, outward beauty to get ahead, make a mark, or get what you want is the very day you get into a lot of trouble. Half the time, I look like a road side mechanic because of the nature my work, (I carry cameras for a living ??) and that’s alright ? That work…the actual work… The #KingWoman #BabyTiger mindset, God’s Grace got me to where I am right now… today!! Who cares if I’m not “delicate” looking like the rest of them. However, it’s interesting that I say this under a hot ( sweet ☺️ hot, not fuego ?️ hot) photo taken by the awesome @kelechiamadiobi with creative direction by @remiadetiba. Heeeeey ??‍♀️ what can I say… I told you I clean up nice ? ? Have a great day everyone ? #BeatActualGoalsToday
