Snapback culture puts a lot of pressure on new moms, making it feel like a competition instead of a time for support. Just think about how many magazine covers praise women for getting their pre-baby body back just weeks after giving birth. It’s like society only cares about appearances — not how a mom is feeling mentally or emotionally.
Thankfully, people like Danisha are speaking out and helping others understand how harmful this mindset is. She’s calling out the unfair and unrealistic expectations placed on new moms.
Back in 2020, Danisha opened up about serious health issues she faced. She had to go through major surgery three times under general anesthesia, and because of COVID-19, she had to do it without her family by her side. On social media, she shared a powerful message:
“You come first. Take care of yourself mentally and physically!”
She also reminded everyone not to judge others, because we never truly know what they’re going through.
Danisha later created a video series showing her postpartum journey. In her captions, she talked about how tough it is for moms when their bodies change so quickly. She encouraged others to be kind and patient with themselves and to be careful about who they follow online.
Her advice? If a social media account makes you feel bad, unfollow it. Your mental health comes first. Body positivity and self-acceptance matter more than fitting into a certain image.
