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!
Poor Self-image, negativity, low self-esteem, too keen to people’s opinion, things I was so familiar with till December 2017 when I joined BodyTalk. Self-love, self-confidence and personal development are my new mantras. Love it!

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.

Youngvoices aloud n’ Allowed: Doreen’s Voice
We are still facing the consequences of how HIV was first handled. I have reactions like HIV is not a big deal. But if it wasn’t a big deal, we wouldn’t still be talking about it. Now we have generations of people who have to unlearn information about HIV. That’s why a campaign like this is important.
Living with HIV is a rollercoaster. Life does not spare you because you are living with HIV. We spend our lives asking people to love us the way we are when we can’t do the same for ourselves.

When it comes to HIV, I think most people have information about the transmission of HIV; however, when it comes to living with HIV and living with people living with HIV, we still have a challenge and stigma sets in. There is still a lot of fear, so much so that people living with HIV hide their statuses, and when family members find out, they are stigmatized. Even though people claim to know about HIV and do their tests regularly, they still have little or no idea how to help those infected.’ Habiba
