Khanyi Mbau On How She Tackles Body Positivity With Her Daughter Despite Her Changing Her Image. One thing we know for sure about Khanyi Mbau is how much of a mama bear she is when it comes to her teenage daughter.
During a recent interview on The Morning Show with Pabi Moloi, the mom of one shared how she tackles the topic of body positivity and social media pressures when it comes to her fifteen years old daughter. Khanyi shared how she had noticed that her daughter was following Instagram “baddies”.
“…. Then I said my darling, baddies are not a real thing. After filters and everything, they probably don’t live the life that you live. You need to start following people that have a similar life that you have and things that you truly like so you need to change the people that you follow,” Khanyi said on conversations she has with her daughter.
When Pabi asked Mbau how she teaches her daughter about body positivity when she herself has changed what she doesn’t like about her body, Khanyi responded saying, “Anyone who has an insecurity about their body means there’s a trauma that’s stuck onto them. What I’m trying to figure out is figure out with my daughter is, is it a health thing or is it a personal thing and I haven’t found what that is. ‘Cause I know she’s confident but of late she’s just turned fifteen and everything is about the body and I think it’s social media. So I said to her,’ show me the people that you follow. I need to know the people that you follow because Instagram is a vision board. What you see is what you become'”, Khanyi said.
