body-positive
Embracing all shapes
Body-positive describes an attitude or movement that encourages acceptance of all body types, particularly those that diverge from conventional beauty standards.
The term emerged from activism against weight stigma and unrealistic media images: a body-positive Instagram account, body-positive swimwear campaigns.
Someone who is body-positive embraces their own shape without shame.
