'I, a thin, white woman, should not be representative of the body positivity movement'
It's time to recognise the people who started the movement instead... July 04, 2019 - 16:22 BST Alex Light I've considered myself part of the body positivity movement for a while now.
So I've uploaded posts to Instagram and hashtagged them #bodypositive, I've taken part in body positive campaigns and I've identified as a body positive blogger. Full disclosure: I contacted Grace because I was originally writing this article on why everyone deserves to be part of the body positivity movement. I felt like I understood and honoured the roots of body positivity and didn't see why I couldn't be a part of it – I didn't see why it should be size-exclusive or why my relative privilege should stop me from being body positive.
