The body positivity movement has changed over time. What does being comfortable in your skin really mean? Why is there a need to fight against unrealistic body ideals? Join us as we talk about our experience of how society affects body image and perceptions. In this episode, I was joined by the incredibly successful award-winning Filipina-American actress turned TED speaker and host of the I'm Still Here show, Mae Flores.
