Kenyan comedian Elsa Majimbo isn’t letting internet trolls get her down. In a recent TikTok video, she addressed comments calling her ugly, confidently asserting her own beauty.
“Let’s talk about my favorite insult: ‘you are ugly,'” she said, playfully dismissing the negativity.
Elsa highlighted the double standard of colorism, suggesting some dislike her simply for her dark skin. However, she embraces her heritage and refuses to let it define her.
While acknowledging beauty is subjective, she countered the negativity with a dose of self-assurance.
“I know I have people in real life and online who tell me I’m gorgeous every day,” she stated, adding, “Plus, I have mirrors!”
The video showcased her confidence, shutting down haters with a positive message of self-acceptance.
