Woman In A Bikini Stands In Public To Promote Self-Acceptance

Sarah ChenBy Sarah Chen·

How brave do you have to be to stand half-naked in a crowded market place?

Not as much as being brave enough to accept and love yourself.

Society’s beauty standards remind you  that you are not beautiful enough every single day, which often leads to developing low self-esteem and self hatred.

Amy Pence-Brown is one of thousands who struggle with overweight, and instead of wallowing in self-pity, she decided to do something extreme… A move that would empower her or leave her ridiculed.

In a social experiment, she stood in a bikini in public with a sign at her feet, asking strangers to draw hearts on her body. What happened next will amaze you.

Always love yourself, no matter what. Even if others don’t.
