When ex beauty queen Munachi Abii delved into music, only a few people believed in her craft. This made her collaborate with Waje on I am so inspired,a song that preaches
She puts it this way: “In the beginning, I was a rebel but I didn’t love myself. I wasn’t looking at how far I had already come, I focused on where I felt I should have been. I didn’t see my blessings as blessings. If anyone told me I was beautiful, I would argue with them. I thought that was humility.
It got so bad that I felt I didn’t deserve any praise I got. I felt they were lies. And when love found me, I would find ways to jeopardize it or run from it. How can you love me? And yet all I’ve ever wanted was to love and be loved. What is love? Could this be love?
So what the hell was I looking at that made me forget what I’ve had all along? A lie. An illusion. I was looking at a “space” that didn’t exist which I probably created in my own mind. A lady said to me :”Muna you are getting fat”. I said “Thank you, I am eating well “. She said: “So you like it?” I said: “Yes, I love myself “.The moral of the story is that when you love yourself, you can do anything .It’s not pride, it’s not arrogance, it is a healthy mind.”
