Gospel singer Size 8 Reborn tackles bullies in new song ‘Inakuwashia Nini’
By Elizabeth NgigiGospel minister Linet Munyali, popularly known as Size 8, has returned to the music scene with her new song, “Inakuwashia Nini.”
The singer premiered the song in collaboration with the duo ‘Wapendwa Muziki’.
In the song, Mama Wambo addresses body shamers who often comment on her weight gain, encouraging people to love and appreciate themselves.
She also highlights how bullies target individuals based on their skin tone.
“I have been told I have a big belly and that I am overweight. Why does someone’s body bother you?” she questions cyberbullies.
In her songs, Size8 Reborn encourages listeners to embrace self-love and acceptance, advocating for a culture that values diversity in body types and promotes positive body image.
“Whether I gain weight, lose weight, or lack flawless skin, without Jesus in my heart, He has given me courage.”
Body shaming, as highlighted by Size8 Reborn, involves the hurtful practice of criticising or ridiculing individuals based on their body size, shape, or appearance.
Body shaming also extends beyond mere comments to impact self-esteem and mental well-being, perpetuating harmful beauty standards and societal pressures.
A day before the song’s release, she hinted at exciting news for her fans and explained on Instagram her motivation for creating a body-positivity anthem.
“When God brought us into this world, He did not bring us as tourists. God brought us into this world to fulfill a purpose, to dominate and subdue for His glory. This means that wherever you are, however small or big you look at yourself, you have a purpose bigger than you to do the will of God.”
The mother of two has been a victim of cyberbullying over the years, with critics frequently targeting her dress code.
