Body Positivity: a social movement rooted in the belief that all human beings should have a positive body image, while challenging the ways in which society presents and views the physical body. The movement advocates the acceptance of all bodies regardless of physical ability, size, gender, race, or appearance.

The complex of the word "perfect" and "normal," why we shouldn't change for other people, and why comparing ourselves to others doesn't make any sense, but is really hard not to do are topics all discussed today. Ava also dives into the history behind body image, and ten helpful tips to start being more body positive. See you Friday!
