Ep. 5 - What is body positive

Adrienne Nichole

DIGITAL CREATOR | INFLUENCER

When a mutual friend sent Adrienne Nichole’s instagram to me, I found laughter, inspiration, and a sense of full acceptance. For years Adrienne has used her platform as a digital creator and influencer to share a sense of confidence for plus size women. But more than that, Adrienne promotes body positivity.

While the body positive movement has hit headlines in recent years, it actually started with the first wave of feminism back in the 1800s when activists worked to put an end to the corset trend that allowed women to fit the societal standard of tiny waistlines. Since then, there have been several waves of the body positivity movement, especially in the last decade with the rise of Instagram. The idea behind the movement is full acceptance of all body types despite perceived flaws.

Studies have shown that weight status and poor body image contribute to depression and lower self esteem. Adrienne and I sit down to discuss her part in promoting positive body image and full self-acceptance.

You can continue to follow Adrienne for more inspiration on Instagram and Facebook.
