About us:
We are a group of York U students who noticed the injustices that are present in body image representations in the media.

Beauty is both timeless and ageless and our objective is to create new images that reflect this as well as the diversity of perspectives, voices, locals, and situated knowledge’s in order to improve body image ideals. This means we want to empower people to believe in the beauty they hold. Our campaign is a collaborative project that will create an environment of inclusion that encourages people to come together and share their individual stories.
