I'm not ashamed to show my postpartum tummy, I am proud actually . . . I carried my son for nine months in there. I think I've earned the right to have a little tummy. Is it because I'm a model? Well, we are normal people too, so let me enjoy the beach in peace, please."

Seven weeks postpartum, Tia Mowry shared a photo with a powerful caption about feeling like something was wrong with her because she'd previously seen photos of celebrities and models with flat bellies sporting bikinis at the beach two weeks postpartum. "To be honest, it had to take time for me to embrace my new body," she wrote. "With this second pregnancy, I now have embraced that fact that I've housed a human being. A miracle. A life. If it takes a while for me to get back to my normal self, than so be it. This. Is. Me. And I love me."
