Jennifer Melyan came of age as a chubby brown child in the 90’s in Taiwan, where heroin-chic models were the norm and light skin preferred. Bombarded with nonstop messages about why her body wasn’t right, she developed a severe eating disorder to compensate. It took years of learning how to love herself bit by bit, body part by body part, in order to stand confidently in her current form and encourage others to do so as well.

By addressing issues such as puberty, sexuality, assault, eating disorder, and body dysmorphia in her upcoming book My Body Of Work, Jennifer aims to inspire others to liberate themselves from disempowering body-related narratives and beliefs.
