Описание:

It's time to ditch harmful, outdated beauty standards and build real, lasting body positivity. It's time for a self-love revolution

Every day we see movies, magazines, and social media that make us feel like we need to change how we look. This takes a toll on how we think about ourselves--and how we allow others to treat us. And while many teens feel shame about their body, being a teen girl of color can be hard in unique ways. Maybe you feel alienated by the mainstream image of beauty, which is still thin, white and able-bodied. In addition to that, you may also feel pressure from within your community to measure up to a different--but equally unfair--beauty standard. So, how can you start feeling good about yourself when you're surrounded by these unrealistic--and problematic--ideas about your body?

In The Self-Love Revolution, leading body image expert and creator of #LoseHateNotWeight Virgie Tovar offers an unapologetic guide to help you question popular culture and cultivate radical body positivity. With this groundbreaking book, you'll identify and challenge mainstream beliefs about beauty; understand the unique tools girls of color have to counter negative body image; and build real, lasting body empowerment. You'll also learn how to call out diet culture, and discover ways to move beyond your own inner critic and start building the unconditional love for yourself that you deserve.

It's time to explode society's beauty standards, stop messing with diets, wear what you want, and recognize that your body is your business. This book will help you find your way to radical body positivity, one step at a time.

Описание: The author takes the reader through her childhood of poverty, growing up in gritty but dignified rural south Louisiana, and reveals how she developed a passionate love for dance. She also shares her personal story of growing up poor; picking cotton, dreaming of going to New York City and how guiding hands helped shaped her life. She also gives a peek into her dysfunctional family where she witnessed abuse, destruction, and heartache. In this riveting story, she details how a mere babysitting job led her to attend Grambling College, now Grambling State University, and enabled her to make her mark there both on campus, and ultimately internationally. Pradia also relates how a chance encounter with the legendary basketball Hall of Famer Willis Reed resulted in meeting the love of her life, and how winning the title of All-American Cheerleader at Grambling made her childhood dream of going to New York City one day, a reality.

Описание:

Growing up as a fat girl, Virgie Tovar believed that her body was something to be fixed. But after two decades of dieting and constant guilt, she was over it--and gave herself the freedom to trust her own body again. Ever since, she's been helping others to do the same. Tovar is hungry for a world where bodies are valued equally, food is free from moral judgment, and you can jiggle through life with respect. In concise and candid language, she delves into unlearning fatphobia, dismantling sexist notions of fashion, and how to reject diet culture's greatest lie: that fat people need to wait before beginning their best lives.
