When South African gospel sensation Ntokozo Mbambo blessed Ghanaian soil for MOG Music’s Live in Concert, it was not just her powerful voice that made a point—it was also her authentic voice in an interview.
In a stirring and uplifting interview with Footprint TV’s Madonna Opong, the world-known worship leader was questioned how she has managed to stay true to herself despite all the stereotypes and social opinions against plus-sized women in the public eye.
Her response was simultaneously disarmingly and empowering:
“I’ve discovered that other people care more about other people than they care about themselves. That’s why opinions hurt so much. But when you start to love yourself as much as you love other people and their opinions, you become unshakeable.”
This golden moment made us remember that the journey to self-confidence begins with self-love. Ntokozo did not brush aside the fact that the criticism exists. Instead, she spoke of the empowering mentality that has carried her through them: loving herself for what she’s worth, taking her space, and being aware of how confidence is not what the world tells you, it is what you tell yourself.
For all the countless women, youth, and artists out there looking on, her words resonate. In a society that’s swift to judge outward appearances and is slow to uplift uniqueness, Ntokozo’s elegance and sense challenge us to shut down the noise and bless the beauty that we bear.
At Footprint TV, this is the kind of kingdom conversation we adore real, uplifting, and founded on purpose. Because at the end of stage lights and cameras, it’s the truth that sets free.
