Source: <\/strong>bbc.com<\/p>\n 2018-02-16<\/p>\n Chidera Eggerue, a 23-year-old award-winning blogger, is the driving force behind Saggy Boobs Matter, an online movement that challenges unrealistic expectations of what breasts should look like.<\/p>\n She told BBC 5 live’s Stephen Nolan that as a teenager all she wanted was cosmetic surgery because her breasts “didn’t look like those of the model on bra packaging”.<\/p>\n Chidera has now grown to love her body and encourages other women to love theirs.<\/p>\n She said: “A lack of representation of saggy-looking boobs when I used to go bra shopping in M&S made me realise that something is wrong with the way the world views women\u2019s bodies.”<\/p>\n Chidera also took a pot shot at bra packaging, claiming they offered her no guidance.<\/p>\n She says her online campaign has received praise – but she has also been bodyshamed and trolled<\/p>\n She says bra packaging only shows ‘white women with perky boobs’<\/p>\n \u201cWhy I chose to do this is because other women who do not yet have that strength in themselves to have that view and that strength comes from self-awareness and self-awareness often comes from choosing to love the parts about yourself that you\u2019ve been taught to dislike. And not every woman has that willpower.<\/p>\n Chidera wants women to know that their ‘saggy boobs’ matter. <\/p>\n \u201cSo I\u2019ve chosen to essentially be the sacrificial lamb here because I know that, no matter what\u2019s said about my body, or even me, my value extends beyond other people\u2019s vision. And so it\u2019s important that if you\u2019re in a position where you\u2019re comfortable with yourself, it will be nice to help other people reach that point.\u201d She added. <\/p>\n![\"Chidera](\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/41361039.295.jpg\" "\\"Chidera")
