I love Tyler Perry’s shows and one of my favorites is Zatima. If you haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, it’s on BET+ and it’s about a couple named Zac and Fatima, who navigate their careers, relationship, friendships, trauma and the world together. Fatima’s best friend is a beautiful, stylish and curvy woman named Angela, who is confident, funny and unapologetically herself. She defies the on screen stereotype that beauty and confidence is wrapped up in a size two and her answers to my questions made me really want to be friends with the person who plays Angela on the show and not just her character.

Nzinga Imani is the powerhouse behind Angela, and trust me, she’s every bit as inspiring as the character she brings to life. As an actress, plus-sized model, fashion designer, makeup artist, and hairstylist, Nzinga is a woman of many talents, but what truly stands out is her unwavering confidence and commitment to self-love. Her journey hasn’t just been about breaking barriers in industries that weren’t always inclusive—it’s been about rewriting the rules entirely. Through her work, she empowers women to embrace their authenticity unapologetically, proving that beauty, success, and confidence come in every shape and size. After interviewing her, I can confidently say that Nzinga Imani isn’t just someone you’ll admire on screen—she’s someone you’ll root for in real life.
