A Point of View: Celebrating the Beauty in Body Diversity

I still remember the first time I went on a "diet." I was 12 or 13, and my friends and I sat sprawled out on one of their bedroom floors; the burgundy carpet littered with copies of YM Magazine, Teen Vogue, Teen, and Cosmo Girl! The more that we flipped through, the more I noticed that none of the models looked like me. I was already the only one out of my friends with dark, chestnut skin, almond-shaped eyes, full lips, and kinky, coily hair that threatened to spill out of my slicked-back bun at any moment. But I also struggled to find bodies that looked like mine.
