Host Mil Ivory has a conversation with Promoter of body positivity Markeyah also know as and can be found on Instagram as Kurvy_Kayy.

MIL and Kay discuss how positivity promotes that all people deserve to have a positive body image.  Regardless of what stigmas society put on you to believe.  Your size, shape, color, gender and appearance should strictly be  asked on you being happy with who you are.  What you think is beautiful in your eyes NOT what society or popular culture view as ideal.  Total self love and acceptance plays a major role in you achieving that!! what their views are on body positivity, and how your perception of your body’s image can effect you and the people around you. It is ultimately up to you to possess the confidence and acceptance of who you are to be able to have these positive experiences with your self but if you are struggling we want you to know that it happens to the best of us and it is not permanent.  You can change it with the will, support and self love!!

In this conversation the host is challenging all the CDC community to not only ask themselves do they see their glass half empty or half full.  Why is that important you say?  If you are the type of person who always sees their glass half empty it means you are a pessimistic person versus the opposite of being optimistic.  Optimists focus on the good whereas pessimists tend to focus on the bad.  If you are a pessimistic person simple put, you are a negative thinker.  In which case this conversation is targeted at you.  In this conversation the host hopes to enlighten and convert or at least encourage negative thinkers to become positive thinkers.  Just an attempt to let you guys know the power in positive thinking and how it can help to improve your mental, emotional, physical and sometimes financial and sexual health.
