Is it just me or has there been some really amazing body positive music coming out lately? Not just inspiring lyrics but videos that really showcase different body types? It’s bad-ass and it makes me so happy to live in a world that is embracing all types of bodies and body acceptance. It’s so re-affirming to see different bodies represented in the media.

I remember the first time I saw someone with my body type on tv as a teen, it’s sad that it sticks out isn’t it?

We still have a ways to go. I would love more emphasis on all body types being equally worthy and sexy but the fact that body inclusivity is part of the conversation is great. Hopefully, one day we can all look at each other, as women, and not see how we are “supposed” to be, but instead, see how we are and acknowledge it as beautiful in all of its varieties.

I wanted to share some of my favorite jams and I want you to share yours!
