I was born and raised in Ghana. 00:00
But I actually didn't feel like I was from there. 00:01
Because I always looked different. 00:05
My parents are divorced. 00:07
I grew up with my mom, and Daddy’s from Lebanon. 00:08
My brows are actually the one Middle Eastern thing that I have, 00:10
and they are there so happily 00:14
and so strong. 00:15
I love them thick. 00:16
I always say, ‘I like my brows as thick as my curves.’ 00:18
All my siblings are gorgeous and skinny. 00:21
So I was like, the little chubby girl and was always like, 00:25
‘oh, the one with the big cheeks.’ 00:27
Bullying is accepted in the African culture. 00:29
I became very aware of my body because of other people. 00:31
All my friends wore different sizes, but I wasn’t really aware of size. 00:34
I was just like, ‘backless tops are in vogue!’ 00:37
And then someone was just like, ‘ah you know, you can’t wear that. 00:39
Your friends can wear that, but you can’t wear that, 00:42
because you have back rolls or you have arms.’ 00:43
The fact that no one defended me 00:46
helped me understand that that was accepted. 00:48
I don’t want women, even young girls, to grow up 00:50
emotionally holding all that stuff in the way I did. 00:54
I just want people to know all sides of me. 00:57
The bad stuff, the good stuff. 01:00
Because then, when they see me here, and you know, 01:02
I’m all confident and I love myself, 01:05
I want them to understand that it wasn’t easy and it still isn’t easy 01:07
and they’re not alone. 01:10
Confidence isn’t great if it’s not unapologetic. 01:11
The beauty about confidence is there is no room for opinions, 01:15
there is no room for you to even waver in it. 01:17
I think my creative side reveals really, truly how I think. 01:21
When I paint or when I, you know, take pictures, 01:24
you’ll know how I feel, you’ll know what the inside of me looks like. 01:27
Being a part of the European Wax Strut Society just felt like an amazing energy. 01:31
We’re all confident in our own ways. 01:35
I walk around a lot of times without makeup on, 01:37
and it’s one of those things where I had to really understand 01:40
that confidence wasn’t about 01:42
pretending to be something 01:44
or hoping to be something else. 01:45
And it also didn’t mean you had to love every single thing about you. 01:47
It’s just the world gets what I give them every day. 01:51

歌词与翻译

[中文]
我在加纳出生长大。
但我其实并没有觉得自己是那里的人。
因为我总是看起来与众不同。
我的父母离异了。
我跟妈妈一起长大,爸爸是黎巴嫩人。
我的眉毛其实是我唯一拥有的一点中东特征,
而且它们生机勃勃,
又浓又强。
我喜欢它们又粗又浓。
我总是说,“我喜欢我的眉毛像我的曲线一样浓密。”
我的所有兄弟姐妹都又漂亮又苗条。
所以我就像那个有点胖的小女孩,而且总是被叫做,
“那个脸颊很大的孩子。”
在非洲文化中,欺凌是被接受的。
因为别人,我开始非常在意自己的身体。
我的所有朋友穿的尺码都不一样,但我并没有真正意识到尺码的问题。
我只是觉得,“露背上衣很流行!”
然后有人说,“啊,你知道吗,
你不能穿那个。
你的朋友可以穿,但你不能穿,
因为你会有后背赘肉或者手臂上的肉。”
没有人为我辩护的事实,
让我明白这种行为是被接受的。
我不想让女性,甚至年轻女孩,像我一样,
把所有的情绪都压抑在心里。
我只想让人们了解我的所有面。
好的方面,不好的方面。
因为这样,当他们看到我在这里,你知道,
我充满自信,并且爱自己时,
我希望他们能明白,这并不是一件容易的事,现在仍然不容易,
而且他们并不孤单。
自信如果没有毫无歉意的态度,就毫无意义。
自信的美妙之处在于,它没有空间容纳别人的意见,
甚至没有空间让你动摇。
我认为我的创作一面真正地展现了我的想法。
当我绘画或者拍照时,
你就能知道我的感受,就能看到我内心的样子。
能成为欧洲蜡脱毛社的一员,感觉充满了积极的能量。
我们每个人都有自己独特的自信。
我经常素颜出门,
这其中有一点是我需要真正理解的,
自信不是关于
假装成另一个人,
也不是希望成为另一个人。
而且它也不意味着你必须爱自己的一切。
