We love to hear about young women making strides toward acceptance of all body types. When we heard about the young woman who wrote a letter to the stranger who bullied her, we applauded her brave actions.
Genny Zuniga is one of the many individuals who deals with a negative body image every day. And like many, she is a target for bullying because of her body.
So she decided to put out a video, exposing herself both physically and emotionally. Wearing nothing but black undergarments, she narrates her journey toward self-love in a a few yet poignant words.
“I don’t think people realize how truly easy it is to become someone who sees themself as worthless,” she says about how people fail to understand the effect their words may have on someone. She admits that self-love and acceptance weren’t easy to feel when she was surrounded by negativity. “Body image is hard.”
So she surrounded herself with support, love, and hope to allow herself to believe that she was important and beautiful. After all, the ideal body type is constantly changing.
Others may have used words to hurt her, but Genny is using the power of words to spread the message of self-love!
Stay beautiful, Genny!
