âBut even with constant rhetoric, the movement of body acceptance and self love has never been so crucial or more powerful. However, the mainstream image is failing to convey the entirety of the movement.Itâs so much bigger than liking a selfie or laughing at an insult.Women are reclaiming their sexuality, their bodies.

Folks struggling with their gender identity are finding communities and resources. People of color are refuting the standards which have dehumanized them for all of history.
