Rachel Annie, the winner of Atinka TV’s Di Asa show, has stated that the stereotype of plus-size persons being slow is untrue.

This is because they are rather intelligent and even more sensible than slender people.

Annie remarked in a recent appearance on SVTV Africa that, plus-size people typically operate their businesses since neither the government nor private businesses hire them.

“Government does not employ plus-size people, but they think we are not smart, but they are sensible. Plus-size people do everything wholeheartedly even though we are not fast.

She told host DJ Nyaami that “We take our time and get it done.”

Speaking on the stigma associated with being plus size, she said that she tried to shed weight by drinking a gallon of lime juice in high school, but it didn’t work.

The current Di Asa champion claims that when she was in high school, she was frequently humiliated by her classmates.

Annie also stated that the competition impacted her life positively.

According to the plus-size celebrity, it boosted her confidence in public speaking, and she is unconcerned about the reactions of onlookers.

Annie has won the Di Asa competition on Atinka TV.

She currently holds the title of plus-size dance champion.
