What’s up with #normalizenormalbodies?

ByLindley Ashline

In which I talk about the hashtag #normalizenormalbodies and whether it’s a good thing.

Every Monday, I send out my Body Liberation Guide, a thoughtful email jam-packed with resources on body liberation, weight stigma, body image and more. And it’s free. Let’s change the world together. Subscribe »
