“Women, we are the most complicated human beings on this earth. We always want what somebody else has that we don’t have. When we look in the mirror all we see is our imperfections, we never truly look at ourselves as we are unique,” she said.

“everybody has scars inside and out. I have many scars, I have scars from having children on my stomach” she added.

Talking about her scars, Stephanie added that she also has scars from hormonal injections so that she can function like everybody else.

Showing off her scars including one from a motorbike accident, she added that ” I have a scar right here and another here from a double mastectomy. Again from trying to survive cancer, I will show you my nipples but I don’t have any”.

Captioning her video, the singer wrote: “scars we all wish to hide. The effects of the outer scars can still be felt within us. None of us are perfect. Live your Truth”.

The post has since attracted encouraging comments from her fans and friends on social media.
