unashamedly
Boldly, without apology
Unashamedly means without shame or embarrassment, openly and unapologetically: She was unashamedly ambitious.
The word often signals defiance of expected modesty or social convention: He unashamedly wept at the funeral, an unashamedly sentimental film.
It can carry admiration for someone's boldness or criticism of their brazenness, depending on context.
