Part 2 "Students would pour water on all the chairs and call me a milk factory" - Lolo 1 of Wazobia fm



"@Regrann from @myunfilteredng - (Part 2/2) When I started working in radio, it really helped me to discover who I am. I just never knew people like me could achieve great things despite the way they looked. It has nothing to do with your size and everything to do with the capacity of your mind. Since I made the decision about 6 years ago to begin to live the way I wanted, I've been happier. I've achieved more, I've taken great strides and I know that it's because I faced my fears. I had to get to the point where I told myself that, “I am good enough because everyone God has made is good enough.” If you don't think you are good enough people are not going to think you are good enough. 
I have 4 amazing kids; a daughter and three sons. I understand that self-esteem is something you must get right. I tell my daughter every time how beautiful she is, how great she is. I tell her these things now so she can sit among people and keep her head high, knowing fully well that her “content is more important than the container”. That’s what I am doing to correct what I didn't get initially. 
I'm single now and I'm very happy. I love my kids, I have a good relationship with my ex, and I have people that love me. I have a good team, I have work, comedy, music and church. I travel, write, act and do the things that I've always wanted to do. Imagine if I had this kind of healthy self-esteem; I would have made better choices earlier in life and started out better, but there is nothing that happens to man that God is not involved in.
The people that you celebrate are not people without scars. The stretch marks on my belly are a tapestry of my children. They expanded my womb, they made it wrinkled and I love them. They are not something to be ashamed of. You are all the things that you've gone through and come through. I'm not ashamed to talk about these things now because there's somebody out there who needs to get up and know that things are not bad. So, that's how I see my life - like a tapestry. #Unfiltered #RealStories #WhatsYourStory - #regrann"
