Imagine a world where loving yourself is the rule, instead of the exception; where nothing about your beautifully crafted body is taboo.
We want that world. We are creating that world; brick by brick. Join Us.
About
Who?
#Bodytalk is a social media Self-Awareness and Advocacy campaign which has exploded into a community and is becoming a movement. We are a peer education Organization.
Why?
#Bodytalk started as one girl’s realization that loving oneself didn’t have to be reserved for real life Barbies and Wonder woman; that we ordinary girls could try it too. Also, that we don’t always have to succeed, because it is an ongoing process, but that knowledge, that moment is where the journey starts.
What?
So you want in but still don’t get it? Let me walk you through.
Self-love,
Body Image,
Body Positivity…
Never heard of those?? It might sound like rocket science but it’s not that complicated.
We are just a group of young people learning about who we are in this crazy world and sharing our experiences as we go along.
It would be great to add your voice to the mix!

Hear what some of #TeamBodyTalk has to say!
Great initiative on body positivity. Way to go with this mammoth task you have undertaken and keep the fight. We need to respect people’s preferences and not feel any less about ourselves just because we’re not their fit.
