For a long time, Jacky Vike aka Awinja would hide her jawline by avoiding close up videos and hiding behind a big head of hair.
I was always told ‘Uko na jaws za wababa, jaws zinakaa mbao imechongwa , jaws za Kanye West – The Papa Shirandula actress revealed.

This is because she was taunted needlessly for having what people viewed as manly jaws.
“You would never have seen a close up picture of myself because I was always told ‘Uko na JAWS MBAYA! JAWS ZA WABABA, JAWS ZINAKAA MBAO IMECHONGWA , JAWS ZA KANYE WEST, JAWS ZA MTU HAJAKULA MIEZI KADHAA, JAWS UGLY!!! Etc etc. I would only show a close up on video since I knew how to manoeuvre and hide them, I would always have long braids/wigs to hide, some make-up artist used to tell me “you have a beautiful jawline” I used to ignore because I thought ni chocha tu to make me feel good, but I later realized this is something I cannot change, and therefore I chose to embrace them, by donning short hair or show them more,” she confessed.

The Papa Shirandula actress then used this as a teachable moment about self- love.
“People may make you hate some part of yourself so you grow up knowing, your forehead is ugly or arms or legs etc, what I can say is, DO NOT ALLOW! Those comments to get to you because they will be affecting you as you carry them, so here I am accepting each and every “Flaw” Pole pole,” Awinja added.
