Active ways to cultivate positive body image:

(Because oh my god, it’s so hard, and everyone’s all like stop feeling so bad about yourself and it’s like how???)

Be naked. A lot. Sleep naked. Have sex naked. Eat cereal naked. (Or naked and wrapped in a sheet. Favorite thing.)

Follow beautiful, confident, (un-photoshopped) body-positive babes on the Internet. Unfollow anything that makes you feel insecure. Exposure is key. You’re not going to get it if you don’t seek it out, because the media sucks and wants us to feel like shit about ourselves so they can take our money. (Some hashtags to follow: #effyourbeautystandards #bootyrevolution #blackisbeautiful #transisbeautiful #wheelchairlife #fatkini #fatshion)

Lingerie. Next best thing to being naked.

Self care, babe. Different for everyone. (Me? Showers, books, shaving my legs, nature walks, dark lipstick, good playlists, clean rooms, candles, sexy time.)

Get ready in your underwear. Boobs = happiness.

Self portraits. Be pro-selfie. Take a million selfies. Take sexy selfies. Take no makeup selfies. Take bad angle silly selfies. Take artsy tripod selfies. Take everything-is-on-point selfies. You’re gorgeous; document your gorgeousness. You don’t even need to post them.

Stop with the self deprecationnnnn. Pleeeeaseeee. It’s hard to control your thoughts love, I know, but you can control what you say. NEVER insult yourself out loud. Dare I say compliment yourself out loud? (And if you can, do your best to try to body-positive-ify your thoughts too.)

Sex (including solo sexy time), wine, and chocolate. In that order.

Share the body love. Compliment your girlfriends. Cultivate a nonjudgemental, supportive, lift-each-other-up “we’re so cute” friend group. Everyone’s insecure. Compliment your besties. And strangers, too. Be that person that makes everyone feel good about themselves when they’re around.

Good luck gorgeous. It’s a battle. We gotta unlearn all this societal bullshit.

Snoop Dogg on Roots Playing on Memorial Day

I’m sick of this shit. How the fuck are they going to put ‘Roots’ on on Memorial Day? They going to just keep beating that shit into our heads about how they did us, huh?

When y’all going to make a motherfucking series about the success that black folks are having? The only success we have is ‘Roots’ and ‘12 Years a Slave’ and shit like that, huh? Fuck y’all. I ain’t watching that shit.

Let’s create our own shit based on today - how we living, how we inspire people today.

Preach Brother Snoop

I do agree that we need to make movies that do not only portray black people as being enslaved. It’s not our only story. But I don’t think we should do away with those stories altogether. We have a younger generation that needs to be educated on what has happened to our people.

I agree each has its place. But I will say this. To me, the willingness of Hollywood to green light slavery and civil rights films more than modern movies with black leads seems not so much "remember where you came from" as it seems "remember your place." Just my two cents.
