Social media has completely changed the world, altering the way in which people live their lives and think about themselves. Amidst all of the positive things that come with social media, on the flip side of this argument are unrealistic expectations that so many try to accomplish. Some of these expectations have helped people, while others have been harmful.
Some of the worst things to come from social media would be body-shaming culture. These toxic cultures are an unhealthy obsession of getting what they deem as 'perfection' by shaming bodies that are normal and diverse. Negativity hooked so many into a rut of insecurity, stress, and unhappiness with their natural beauty. And here is where the light of body positivity started to radiate through.
Body positivity seeks to teach people to love and appreciate themselves by understanding the beauty in each and every body. While it did well within its power, some leftovers of the old toxic mindset and body-shaming ways still prevail online. Inspirational figures came forward to break down these norms and to relay their message of empowerment.
This is one such influential voice: Bree Lenehan is a fitness influencer known on many social media sites. Bree breaks down the unattainable standards of beauty through her work and helps promote self-love. Meanwhile, through her journey of keeping fit, she shares that perfection is simply not achievable. In addition, her content teaches people to love their bodies, hence creating a positive, inclusive online environment. The determination to this message probably crowns Bree as a standout figure in the fight against body shaming and proves a fact that embracing authenticity can inspire meaningful change.
