Body shaming is an epidemic. As a culture, we are simple obsessed with size. Particularly when it comes to women’s bodies.From the early days when rounder ‘fertile’ bodies were more revered, to the flat-flapper twenties, the curvy fifties and sixties, the twiggy seventies, the waif-like nineties, and the athletic two-thousands, there has yet to be time in modern history that women haven’t been dictated to in some form or another.
There has yet to be a time when women aren't being "explained" through media portrayals and social culture.And no body is winning, because the target is ever-shifting. It’s no wonder the majority of women are struggling to find their way and feel worthy, constantly being held in comparison to warped, photoshopped, idealistic images portrayed in media all over the world, that continuously represent less than 2% of the female population at any given time (a two-percent who is, as well, being photoshopped even further so even they can’t live up to the ideal). Is the world changing? In small parts, yes. Thanks to major media role models like @thebirdspapaya, who we are welcoming to the @unapologeticallyhershow stage in March, but we still have a long way to go to find our way through the filters and back to each other.
Anna and the ladies get super personal about body shame, talking about the ways in which women of all sizes are struggling... and attempting to create a new dialogue by bringing the shame out from behind change-room doors. We talk media literacy, personal challenges and - as always - we do our very best to stay courageous in the face of some very hard conversations.
Our Bio:
Nothing connects us faster than being Unapologetically real. Meaning, NOTHING is off limits in this unconventional, conversational girl talk style cast. You will be shown the “HOW TO's” on everything unapologetic, which means we will flip the switch on traditional thinking and unravel the stories that have held women back.
You will be introduced to a community of women speakers, coaches and facilitators repped by the Unapologetic Connections Speaker Agency, in ways you have NEVER heard them before. Topics will span sex, relationships, business, friendship, celebrities, travel, grief, love, loss and so much more.
As Unapologetic Speaker Graduates working the speaker circuit and performing live together, we have been through the trenches with one another, sharing innermost secrets, darkest hours, and greatest joys. That means YOU ALWAYS skip the small talk and get real with this community of badass wise women, who are bonded more than super glue and have one totally unapologetic goal in mind: get real, get to the truth and tell it exactly like it is.
Because connection is everything.
