“You don’t owe anyone artificial perfection,” says Amanda Black
Amanda Black has once again reminded fans why she remains one of Mzansi’s most respected voices, both on and off the stage.
The award-winning singer shared a video from a recent live performance, using the moment to reflect on self-acceptance, identity and the pressure to appear “perfect.”
In the heartfelt caption, Amanda encouraged her followers to release themselves from unrealistic expectations, writing, “You don’t owe anyone artificial perfection. You are already perfect, when you wake up in the morning you are already beautiful, complete, you are already YOU. Every version of you in every season.”
The Amazulu hitmaker went on to challenge fans to show themselves kindness and resist allowing outside opinions to dictate how they live or see themselves.
“I challenge everyone who’s ready, to be kind to self and not allow peoples perceptions of life control you,” she added, urging people to embrace their true selves without fear.
Amanda also touched on the discomfort that often comes with authenticity, noting that being true to oneself is not always socially accepted.
“Nothing is gonna break if you dare to be yourself, only the illusions will fall away,” she wrote, reinforcing the idea that individuality is something to be protected, not hidden.
The post resonated deeply with fans, many of whom praised the singer for her honesty and vulnerability, applauding her for using her platform to promote self-love and emotional freedom.
