ThickLeeyonce talks #BodyPositivity and Social Media Trolls
#BodyPositivity ambassador Thickleeyonce opens up about the issues she has had to deal with and her vision for the future.
Lesego Legobane, aka Thickleeyonce, has attained herself quiet the social media popularity as an outspoken individual who is comfortable in her own skin.
As a blogger, Thickleeyonce has shared her personal journey into loving the body she is in. She is a body positive activist who embraces her womanhood and encourages all women, of different shapes and sizes, to do so too. In 2017, the Potchefstoom-born photographer went viral when she responded to a body-shaming tweet comparing her to a well known African model.
Unfortunately for her, this was not the first nor the last time that she has had to deal with social media trolls, who try to bring her down because of her weight.
With the negative social media backlash was also the positive love she received from women who would email her and walk up to her in public to thank her for making them believe that they were beautiful as they were.
East Coast Urban with Thandolwethu spoke to the photographer about her being a role model, her #BodyPositivity movement, and dealing with the social media trolls.
