The purpose of Body Aloud! is to inspire children and teens to know that they have the power of choice in deciding whether or not to participate in the confusing -and potentially harmful- world of bad body image and eating problems. We want youth to know that an alternate reality exists and that it is possible to live in an environment free of body perfection obsession. We strive to share our own accounts of struggles we face (have faced) due to all the outside pressures and messages we receive to constantly better or change ourselves. By hearing real people speak honestly about their struggles, we hope to empower youth to resist or reverse the downward spiral of self-hatred and emphasize the importance of self-love.
