00:00 When I entered the industry, I was a bit naive.
00:04 They always wanted me to be skinny.
00:07 If I eat a little, they'd be like,
00:09 "You're ugly! You should lose some weight!"
00:11 And we should stop pressuring women to be skinny.
00:14 Ouch!
00:27 Ouch!
00:28 You're hurting me!
00:30 I really chose this one because it's summer.
00:32 You're the one who's going to get hit by this.
00:34 I chose this one because it's summer.
00:37 True.
00:38 Okay, so I'll just talk about this.
00:40 So this was actually...
00:44 I'm not sure if Jude was already one year old here
00:47 or if he's not even one year old yet.
00:49 So basically, that's my postpartum body.
00:52 And it was one of the first times I felt good about myself again.
00:56 Because I didn't recognize myself after giving birth.
01:00 And so, when I took this photo, I was feeling myself again.
01:05 And I was embracing the curves and all.
01:08 This was a few weeks before you came back?
01:12 Yes, yeah. That year.
01:14 But Janela, since it's Women's Month,
01:18 how do you feel about women having that pressure to always look good?
01:24 I think in this day and age,
01:29 the types of beauty are really different.
01:33 We should stop forcing women or pressuring women
01:37 to look a certain way just to be called beautiful,
01:39 just to feel beautiful.
01:41 I think there are many different types of beauty.
01:43 You can be morena and beautiful.
01:45 You can be white and beautiful.
01:46 You can be skinny.
01:48 You could be curvy.
01:49 You could be curly.
01:50 You could be whatever.
01:51 There are so many.
01:54 You can be called beautiful in your own way.
01:56 So I think it's just about confidence.
01:58 And we should stop pressuring women to be skinny.
02:00 Because we all have different body types.
02:02 Sorry, I'm so passionate about this.
02:04 Because as a teen, I was very skinny.
02:08 And then, my body just grew into this.
02:12 I'm more of curvy right now.
02:14 Maybe not.
02:15 No, because I'm not the type of person who has a curvy body.
02:20 So there are some...
02:22 When I entered the industry, I was a bit naive.
02:26 So I was pressuring people to be skinny.
02:33 To look a certain way.
02:35 If I was a bit chubby, they would say,
02:38 "You're ugly. You should lose some weight."
02:41 But honestly, in some of those moments,
02:44 when I was a bit chubby,
02:46 I feel beautiful.
02:47 And I think that's what's important.
02:49 If you feel beautiful, then it shows.
02:52 That's it.
02:54 Own it.
02:55 Own it.
