In case you ever wondered about Angela Simmons motivation behind her #BuiltNotBought movement, her Purpose app or her ‘kini clad Instagram posts, the reality tv star, producer, entrepreneur is speaking out about her attitude toward her body and what some might consider flaws or imperfections.

“I do not feel any pressure to look a certain in Hollywood or to be a certain size. I’m gonna be who I am,” Simmons told Page Six Style.

“I like to look a certain way — but to look a certain way just for me more than anything. Everyone has body goals, but what’s most important for me is just turning that pressure into my own pressure.”

Continued the mother of one, “I want people to know ‘perfect’ is not perfect. I looked at myself one day and I said, okay, maybe I have cellulite. Maybe I don’t have this perfect body. But I am perfectly healthy and I love myself, so there’s nothing wrong with embracing a roll.”

What a great attitude to have riiiight? If you’ve been keeping up with “Growing Up Hip Hop” you know that Angela’s sister Vanessa has been sharing her own anxieties about gaining weight and looking good on onscreen this season and Angela has been encouraging to love herself regardless of her size. It’s a theme you’ll find on a lot of her Instagram posts. Hit the flip to see what we mean.

The caption for her latest post talks about the unconditional love she’s learned to have for herself and her body. Longtime fan Yo Gotti couldn’t help himself from commenting below the photo about how perfect he finds her to be.

Angela definitely stays active and works on her physique. While she told Page Six she’s been missing the gym, she also shared that she’s been working out on her Peloton bike and doing other things on her own.

Even in ads for her hair Angela hasn’t shied away from showing off her body. This revealing shot of her hips and thighs got the people going.

Angela often reserves the really revealing shots for vacay pics like this one, taken on a past trip to Bali

2-20-20 Purpose X Built Not Bought @purpose_app This Project is so near and dear to my heart . Growing up I faced so many body image insecurities… I wasn’t sure how to embrace my curves at a young .. As life went on I grew to love myself . I learned how to tune out anything anyone said about how I looked. Instead I realized it was about how I felt . And in those moments of feeling down on myself …. I turned on the noise of my own voice .. and tuned out what I felt anyone thought of me . I became strong . Strong with any flaw ….. I felt I had !! I owned every part of my body . I became the best version of myself through those trying times . With the help of IG (we ) @myemichi and I pulled together some bad ass women who too love themselves . And embrace every inch of their bodies ! They are walking in their purpose !!! And loving themselves fully . I am inspired by their strengths, and by their stories . I welcome you to Purpose X Built Not Bought . These woman embody beauty , strength , love , happiness , and so much more! Together we can all help make a difference in uplifting one another .
