It all started when Christine Blackmon, a mother of three, saw what a model did to a woman. The model, Dani Mathers, took a photo of a woman, who was naked in the locker room, at the gym. The photo made fun of the woman's body. Blackmon was horrified…
“That's such a violation — the woman was showering,” Blackmon told Inside Edition. “She thought she was in a safe place and she was made fun of.”
The model is now suffering the legal consequences, but Blackmon wanted to show the world that it's not OK to make fun of other women's bodies, especially when it violates their privacy. So she did the unthinkable.
The mother snapped a nude photo of herself. She blurred out her private parts, but her body is still visible.
“The picture I posted was right before working out. And I was horrified by it and I saw lumps and bumps but my husband thought it was beautiful,” she said. “Not all of us work out to be ‘hot,’ some of us work out simply to honor the bodies we were given. That's all that woman was trying to do and you violated her. Shame on you. I'd like to introduce you to my 5'10", 194lb lumpy, bumpy glory.”
Blackmon's photo quickly went viral. In fact, many women and mothers like her began sending in their own pictures!
“I have no more confidence than anybody else. I'm very insecure about my body. I just felt comfortable about the support I had from the women in that community and that's the code Dani broke. We're supposed to lift each other up.”
