Zolenation, the talented singer and writer who has captured the attention of the public by her deep and touching voice as well as by meaningful lyrics, has shared her experience of the fight for self-acceptance and confidence in one’s body. Her songs are also inspired by her real life issues, which enables her to connect with a number of her fans. As for the plot of SZA’s story, it became more of a narrative of courage, defenselessness, and change once the woman was about to undergo surgery. In this article, the author takes a closer look at what led to SZA’s decision to have surgery, the consequences of the surgery on her career, as well as such experience as a whole.  

If it is fine to ask several questions and it is okay to take some time in picking the best care then it's okay to elect for surgery. 

SZA like any other person did not take a very careless decision to undergo surgery. Like most women in today’s society, she was brought up with a number of mixed feelings about her body and appearance. In the period when the people’s need for attention increases, and the shallow judgment of others becomes a norm, SZA’s choice was highly personal. She had been for a long time praised for her efforts to be real and open with her fans about her issues regarding mental and body image, particularly through songs. From the interviews and tweets, SZA has threatened to undergo surgery for the physical part of her body which humanely annoys her. For her, it was not only how she can look different, but how she can feel different and look like she is in harmony with a healthy body inside her. This is in extension to increased cases where celebrities do come out in the open and share personal matters that they are undergoing with the intention of inspiring others to accept the changes they are undergoing in their lives.  

The final task consisted of self-organization of the display of both emotional and mental preparedness. 

To make such a decision was not easy for SZA and before going in for the surgery she had to face the emotional and mental part of it. The process was an involving and thought provoking one and this required a lot of planning. But I began to understand it was more than getting her physically ready for it but the mind as well for what is to come. SZA has always been a pretty self-aware and reflective person and that is reflected in most of her songs and interviews.

Support systems are an essential aspect of people’s lives as they can have a significant impact on their behavior or even performance. 

SZA also received a great level of support when it was preparing for the surgery because support systems are very important especially during preparations for surgeries. She had the support of her close friends, family and followers that was instrumental especially during this period. Many times on social media posts and in any interviews she gave, she was grateful for the support and tolerance that she received from the society. One thing which was evident from her side was the support from her fan base. SZA’s fans enjoyed the fact that she decided to show her true self, and everyone applauded her decision and supported her. This was a great source of comfort to her for it was noble to know that she is not alone in this fight; that there are people who truly care enough to be by her side witnessing her through this plight. 

 

Effects on Profession and Perception amongst the Public 

Such surgery can affect a person’s career and perspective as was the case with SZA. Since the performer, with her unique music, stood in a busy contact with her audience, the changes that she experienced were of considerable interest to the public. Being in the limelight is sometimes stressful and SZA learnt this the hard way due to the pressure that results from social expectations. Nevertheless, it can be noted that as for the surgery, SZA had a cleaner motivation and wanted to change herself for the better instead of pleasing other people. The importance of the operation for her was not a change of her appearance that would be noticeable by others but how it would affect her self-image. 

 

Conclusion: 

Lack of self-acceptance and body positivity makes SZA’s experience before her surgery a rather profound story about human choices and judgments. Overall, she sad story tells people the significance of caring for oneself, being supported and being honest when confronting the critical world. Apart from walking through the journey of self-Transformation, SZA was also able to inspire change in the perception of Body Positivity.
