Wear Your Voice magazine is the latest publication trying to promote a positive body image regardless of what you look like. They have launched their #BeyondBeauty campaign, which features 18 women with a variety of body types.
WYD explained their vision:
“There is absolutely nothing we hate more than a body negative campaign created to sell products/make money/thrive off capitalistic culture, disguised as a body positive campaign…Rather than just sit back and watch, Wear Your Voice knew that as a conscious media publication, we had a responsibility to step in.
We chose not to just speak the truth, but capture it in photographic form. We invited 18 women of all shapes, sizes, gender expressions, sexualities, and colors to participate in our body positive photo shoot in order to help us better represent a wider spectrum of bodies.”
On their vision
“Far extends beyond this one photoshoot–it is a campaign whose only selling point is self-love. We’re not endorsing a product, we are supporting authenticity in all its forms.
We are daring to look beyond this traditional and limiting idea of ‘beauty’ to see the strength that not only lies within, but that exudes from all.”
Check out some of the looks from the campaign:

Love it
Bwoy! Unless there’s a medical condition going on in there, I don’t think it’s responsible advertising. No I’m not skinny or an ‘acceptable’ size, but I think this is on par with sites advocating anorexia!
Well it makes me want to look at my weight and go on a serious health journey
Yeeeeessssss!! This is what I’ve been talking about, real women keeping it real for real!! I applaud these beautiful ladies. Now they are natural beauties. This is where I am in this stage in my life. This is acceptance for me, as I may never become that small size in days past of my 20s and 30s. We can still be happy and love ourselves. Stop hiding us. Rock it girls. I only wish one of the ladies were me! Lol!!!
I am glad to see a campaign that promotes loving yourself.
I’m not skinny or even my ideal weight by any means but I personally do not like seeing this. I’m sorry. Not one bit!!!!
I think this is more reality than what we normally see, i.e., the picture perfect models. Maybe they should have included a mixture of all shapes and sizes.
