The #NormalizeNormalBodies Movement Is Going Viral for All the Right Reasons

The #NormalizeNormalBodies Movement Is Going Viral for All the Right Reasons More and more people are embracing their shapes and shunning antiquated ideas about "beauty." But Mik Zazon, founder of the #NormalizeNormalBodies movement on Instagram, says there are still people who are left out of the body positivity conversation. Those who fall somewhere in between "skinny" and "curvy" don't see their body types represented in media, says Zazon. More importantly, conversations about body image, self-acceptance, and self-love aren't always geared toward these people either, Zazon tells Shape. Mik Zazon Zazon's message resonates with people around the world, as evidenced by the thousands who use her hashtag every day. Zazon hopes the movement will continue to remind people of the power you gain once you feel liberated in your own body, she says.
