Feeling Unpretty: Celebrities Reveal Their Biggest Insecurities

Kelly Rowland

Kelly Rowland says she used to feel insecure about the color of her skin but luckily she had positive influences to help her see her own beauty inside and out:

“I remember I went through a period where I didn’t embrace my chocolatey-ness. And I remember Tina Knowles, Bey’s mom, and I remember being out in the sun and I was trying to shield myself from the sun and she said ‘Are you crazy?’ She said you are absolutely gorgeous and she told me how beautiful I was and how rare chocolate is and how gorgeous the skin is…and all of this stuff. I was like ‘Yeah,’ and a light went off.

So in between her and my mother and then me sitting out in the sun a little bit more to be a little more chocolate, you just embrace it. Embrace everything you are as a woman. Even your flaws too. And the things that you want to fix, you make them better.”

Aww…
