Brenda Wairimu is popular because we have seen her on our screens in one of the many movies and series she has been part of.

In as much as we have seen her laugh a lot and smile, she is insecure about her teeth. Taking to social media, she opened up about it how and when it all began.

“I was in primary school, we were at a story reading competition at the library in Mombasa…out the corner of my eye, I spotted a cute baby, one of the boys from our “brother school” that we did music festivals with was holding the baby. I rushed over and asked if I could hold her, the boy looked right at me and told me the baby doesn’t like people with brown rabbit teeth. And that….is why I rarely smile in pictures to this day😩😩😩 Guess what…I won that reading competition 🤣🤣🤣🤣” She posted

In the picture Brenda Wairimu posted, she was smiling and as she says that is a rare one you will see.

Posting this got many on her comment section coming out to speak on their insecurities. One lady said,

I HAVE A BIG GAP WHICH GETS LOTS OF ASKING PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT IT EVERY TIME I MEET NEW PEOPLE. GETS ME UNCOMFORTABLE. I MISSED 1 TOOTH GROWING UP LIKE HAIKUWAHI KUJA, SO MY TEETH COUNT IS 31 NOT 32. BUT WE DON’T LET THAT GET INTO OUR HEADS, DO WE?

Others also encouraged her telling Brenda Wairimu she looks better with a smile on. So keep smiling boo.
