Letitia Wright is re-evaluating the way she loves herself.
The 26-year-old actress put herself under a massive amount of mental strain when she first found fame in her late teens by analyzing every detail of herself, but now she is taking a step back to learn how to appreciate herself better.
Speaking to ELLE magazine, she said: "I think back-to-back years of living the same way and thinking the same thoughts and the pressure I would put on myself ... I remember analyzing every single thing.
"If I went on a red carpet, I'd analyze the picture. If I did an interview, I'd analyze the video. If I spent time with friends, after I left, I'd think to myself, 'Why did I laugh like that, why did I show teeth.' It was just back-to-back."
It was through her faith in Christianity, and joining the church in 2015 when she was 22 years old, that she began "another layer" of self-acceptance.
She continued: "I started to realize that, you know, it's not about me, it's not about how much people can validate me and I started to see the power of God and not the power of man.
"I'm on another layer of a self-love journey, taking a step back to re-evaluate loving myself even better than I did a year ago."
