10 Selfies That Will Change How You See Your Body
In this lecture and workshop, Virgie Tovar (plus-size body positive influencer, contributor for Forbes.com and author of The Body Positive Journal and You Have the Right To Remain Fat), will share how self-documentation (aka "selfies") helped her radically change how she saw her body. For most of her life, Virgie hated seeing pictures of herself. Why? When Virgie was just 5 years told, she was taught that she was "too big," and this led to negative body image, an undiagnosed eating disorder and an obsession with trying to change how she looked. After learning about body positivity and fat activism, she began to use her phone to heal. Come out to hear her story and try some radical selfie therapy yourself.
