In an Instagram post on Wednesday (April 29), Angela Simmons shared two selfies where she donned a bikini. In the caption of the photos, she touched on a few insecurities that she has with her body but wrote that overall, she loves her whole self. "She’s not perfect , her weight fluctuates, she has her days when she’s not sure ... she doesn’t have a 6 pack," she said. "Throughout this all she’s learned to love herself unconditionally... because if she didn’t who would ?'

Angela added, "She is me . And I am her ... My strength is rooted deeper than the surface . I want to encourage you to love your body. Wherever you stand with it . It’s not easy . But it’s worth it. You are worth it. You don’t have to be what anyone( society) tells you to be. You can be YOU freely. There’s nothing more beautiful than a confident woman !" She ended her message with, "Built not bought." Check Angela Simmons flaunting her physique below.
