unapologetically

Boldly, without regret

Unapologetically means without apology or regret, often with defiance or pride: She was unapologetically ambitious.

The word suggests refusing to soften or excuse something others might criticize: He lived unapologetically on his own terms.

It frequently modifies identity or behavior that invites judgment: unapologetically queer, unapologetically loud.
