Description

How do you love your body when it – and society – doesn't seem to love you back?

Olaiya Land is a certified pleasure and empowerment coach in Seattle.

Hanna Safley is a 21-year-old University of Washington student. A disfiguring cancer treatment made it hard to be positive about her body. But she’s found a different way of looking at it: “body neutrality.”
