The body and the digital: exploring online body positivity
The web can be a powerful tool to give a voice to causes that have been ignored for too long. Starting from my story, I will talk about how the Internet can be a means to understand that regardless of one’s body, every individual deserves respect and the same opportunities given to those with a body that conforms to society's standards. I will share the challenges I have faced along the way and how I have overcome common prejudices, using my online platform to inspire and encourage others to do the same. We will then examine how the web can be a fertile ground for creating inclusive and positive spaces that celebrate diversity in all its forms.
