This year for many, particularly could be described as a rebrand year. Yet, it’s not so much about looking better, but rather feeling and being better for your overall health. Plus size model and content creator Simi Muhumuza’s rebrand is more about returning to herself, learning some hard truths, and applying them to her life accordingly.

Through the constant life transitions many of us face, one thing we all need is self-love to keep us afloat. Muhumuza is returning to herself this year with radical self-acceptance which led to her self-love. She’s treating herself with the tenderness and the discipline necessary to reach the goal of fulfillment, which is a daunting and elusive commodity to grasp.

Nonetheless, she perseveres with habits and new self-care regimens from moving her body with daily workouts, meditation, and removing pressure on herself to just flow with life’s changes ensuring her body and mind are aligned. In the past, she felt she wasn’t paying much attention to herself, often putting her own needs on the back burner for one reason or another. Now, Muhumuza is a force to be reckoned with as she centers her wants and needs.

“I’m learning how to create and maintain boundaries for myself, especially when it comes to my relationships with other people, learning how to communicate those boundaries, just really holding myself accountable for my self-growth journey. Those are all ways that make me feel like I’m returning back to self,” Muhumuza sai.
