This Body Positive Flawless Video Encourages Fat Acceptance
Vasiliki Marapas — May 9, 2014 — Pop Culture
Plus-size blogger and Beyonce super-fan GabiFresh found herself so inspired by the pop diva’s lyrics, she created a body positive Flawless video.
Fresh first fell in love with ‘Flawless’ when she heard Beyonce unapologetically calling out her haters. Inspired, she recruited Nadia Aboulhosn and Tess Munster to help her put a plus-sized spin on the original. The video is one facet of her body acceptance movement, ‘#everBODYisflawless.’
With the video, Fresh hopes to communicate that plus-sized women in the industry are supportive of one another, and all working towards the common goal of body acceptance. Furthermore, Fresh declares, “Fat is not a flaw. This video is dedicated to the mainstream media, to the fashion industry, to Internet bullies, and to anyone else who thinks it’s their right to try to make us feel less than because of their insecurities.”
