(Content Warning: Fat-shaming)

Is it okay to call someone fat? Can you tell what a healthy body “looks” like?

Marie Southard Ospina breaks down what body positivity is, and how the movement’s aiming to make a difference in your life. This might give you a whole new outlook on the media and what it takes to let everyone know they’re worthy of self-love, regardless of size.

With Love,
The Editor at Everyday Feminism
