    Thank you all for watching/reading Adisa’s journey. Have you ever been told you needed to change something about yourself to be accepted or loved? How did it impact you, and what helped you embrace who you truly are? Let's support each other in the comments and celebrate our journeys to self-acceptance together!

    I can’t believe how much I relate to this. Society makes it so hard to accept ourselves. Adisa’s story reminded me to take it one day at a time.

      Taking it one day at a time is such a powerful approach. Self-acceptance isn’t always easy, but each small step makes a difference. Thanks for sharing! Are there any specific ways you’re practicing self-acceptance right now?

    This really touched my heart. I hope more people realized that we don't need to change to be loved. Adisa Journey is proof to that.

    I’ve been there, too. My family would constantly comment on my weight, and it really hurt. Seeing Adisa’s courage to defy expectations is so inspiring!

    • @storiesfromafrica1
      @storiesfromafrica1  26 дней назад

      Thank you for opening up. Family comments can be some of the hardest to handle because they come from people we care about. I hope Adisa’s story can remind you that you’re more than those words. What’s something you love about yourself that no one can take away?

  • @NanaYaa506

    This story was beautiful. I used to think I’d never find love unless I looked a certain way. But over time, I realized that real love sees beyond appearances.

    • @storiesfromafrica1
      @storiesfromafrica1  26 дней назад

      That’s such a beautiful realization! True love does go deeper than any surface expectation. Adisa’s story is a reminder of exactly that. Thank you for sharing this - have you found that this perspective changed how you view relationships now?

    I loved how Adisa’s journey defied everyone’s expectations. It’s sad that so many of us go through the same thing, but her strength was inspiring.

    • @storiesfromafrica1
      @storiesfromafrica1  26 дней назад

      I’m so glad you found inspiration in her strength! It’s true - so many people face these pressures, and yet, seeing someone break free from them reminds us it’s possible. What’s one thing you’ve done to defy expectations in your own way?

    "I can completely relate to Adisa's story. My whole life, people told me I’d be ‘perfect’ if I just lost weight. It took me years to realize I didn’t need to change for anyone else.

    • @storiesfromafrica1
      @storiesfromafrica1  26 дней назад

      Thank you for sharing! It’s incredible how powerful that realization can be, right? It’s tough to push past those voices, but finding that self-worth on your own terms is so freeing. How did you start embracing yourself as you are?

  • @NanaAboagyewa02
    @NanaAboagyewa02 26 дней назад +1

    This story hit me hard. I was always told I’d be more ‘lovable’ if I looked a certain way. Watching Adisa’s journey has inspired me to start focusing on self-love instead of seeking approval from others.

    • @storiesfromafrica1
      @storiesfromafrica1  26 дней назад

      I’m so glad Adisa’s story resonated with you! It’s heartbreaking how often we’re made to feel like we’re not enough as we are. Self-love is such a powerful path - wishing you so much strength on your journey. Do you have any self-love practices you’re starting with?

    • @storiesfromafrica1
      @storiesfromafrica1  23 дня назад

      Thank you for sharing your perspective, and I appreciate your concern. This story is really about self-acceptance and the importance of feeling worthy just as we are, regardless of outside pressures to conform. Did you notice that Adisa’s journey includes steps like eating healthier, dancing, and walking as part of embracing herself? Health is certainly important, and so is the journey to self-love and self-worth. ❤️
