Show Notes

Mainstream and social media influence the norms of what is an attractive or acceptable body within our community. 

Buying into this narrow definition is easy, but it can be detrimental to your self-image and self-esteem.  

Body representation is the practice of celebrating a diverse range of body types and unlearning the conditioning that only some bodies are worth showing.  

In this juicy episode, we’re answering questions such as:

  1. What has been your experience around body representation and body image in the media?
  2. How did that translate into your experience in the gay community?
  3. Do you actively work at changing your relationship with media/social media and how it affects you?
  4. What (if any) are the things you try to do to be part of the change around body representation?

Join us for this spirited discussion about body positivity, self-image, and what you can do to support more diverse body representation in the media.
