Bikini season has arrived, and one woman doesn’t plan on covering up her bottom.
Karina Irby, a well-known body positivity advocate, is loved by her online fans for her authenticity. The bikini model and designer, who is also the CEO of Moana Swim, uses her Instagram platform to remind people everyone has so-called “imperfections”.
In her most recent post, she drew attention to her cellulite, and confessed she absolutely loves it. Even when she was at her smallest, she said her bum was still covered with “bumps”, so she may as well embrace them.

Writing on Instagram, Karina said: “Fat bootys require cellulite. Stop shaming your lady bumps! It’s just a part of the human experience.
“Even when I was my fittest and healthiest I still had cellulite. I promise it’s nothing to hide or be ashamed off.”

One person said: “I love you for being you and honoring your body cause it’s BEAUTIFUL! I wish more woman would love on themselves and show it off cause damn we’re amazing.
“YOU’VE GOT ME AS A FAN FOR LIFE AND I’M ALWAYS ROOTING FOR YOU!!!”
A second wrote: “Refreshing to see this when most women are so self-conscious of having cellulite.”
Meanwhile, a third replied: “Honestly, your message is so incredibly important and needed in this world babe. When did we collectively decide that cellulite is ‘bad’??
“This is a normal human thing that people of any body fat/fitness level can have. And it breaks my heart how so many of us (myself included) held ourselves back due to not feeling ‘worthy’ enough because of so-called physical ‘imperfections’.
“Thank you so much for inspiring women all over the world to reclaim their own body and power.”

Karina also been vocal about embracing her legs and skin, despite feeling insecure about them. The social media star has no desire to hide her features.
Writing at the time, Karina said: “A carousel of my insecurities. My legs – People staring at my legs in public will never get easy and unnoticed. Tummy – As much as I appreciate it, I still find myself judging it the most. My face – My biggest insecurity. I’d love perfect glass skin.
“Anxiety – I don’t mind talking about it but dealing with it makes me feel my worst. Being a business owner – I have imposter syndrome everyday. Even though I look confident, I can show you lies.
“I hope by me sharing what my biggest insecurities are helps you feel less alone in yours.”
