However, it was not always like that, because at some point in her life she felt like a very sad woman and full of insecurities:
“I didn’t like my height, my voice, I used to say: “holy mother, how do I get rid of this voice? I suffered because I felt the accent a lot and tried to neutralize it. Also the face for the teeth because I had broken my teeththen I also had a complex and perhaps sometimes I wanted to enhance my self-esteem but I went out into the street and right there the comment was not lacking, “he revealed.
She also said that on many occasions she was compared to her beautiful ones, since many said that they were the pretty ones:
“And it affected me and I would cry. They told my mom: “Oh, these two are so pretty, oh but this one doesn’t look like them, I don’t know what, these two are pretty and people were cruel like that. YI don’t know it’s nonsense but when you’re a child, all those things impact you. So I started getting that idea, that I was very ugly, that I didn’t deserve anything.”he said, remembering what he thought in the past and highlighting that fortunately he currently felt differently.
Finally Erika Zapata left a reflection on what is really important and made a call to those who had ever felt like this:
