Blog - Amplify your voice

I wrote earlier this week about a body positivity group I run on campus, and people said they were interested in hearing more, so here's what we're up to!

Every week the happy bodies team gets together to plan our on-campus activism. We also advertise for our weekly discussion group by cutting out ads and commenting on them – it’s both cathartic and illuminating. Here are some of our favorite ads from this week:

Our discussion topic for this week is Bodies in Relationships: How does your body relate to other bodies? Does your self image change when you’re in a relationship? How does body image impact relationships? Feel free to comment with your thoughts!

If you want to see more of these check out: C’mon get happy 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

The posters you shared here and the ones you linked to were amazing!! I really wish that we had a group like that when I was in college.

This is a great post! I love the posters... you guys are awesome! 

My self image definitely changes in relationships. You should do a post on here and maybe we all can have an Amplify blog discussion ^_^ I can definitely use encouragement in this area...! 

Keep up the positive work, guys!
