Tocarra Jones from ANTM Cycle 3
Was bashed by judges for her weight of 180. Considered a plus size model. As you can see, she looks average if not slim.
Fast forward to Cycle 10 and Whitney Thompson becomes the winner of ANTM as a plus sized model. And you guessed it. She’s white.

Do you agree that body positivity is only for white women?

As young children, we are taught what the image of beauty looks like and what it is not. We are told what to wear, how to think, how to degrade ourselves. Because of sexist views from the past, the present is dealing with self hatred as a consequence.
Growing up extremely thin did not bother me, and it never crossed my mine that one day I might hate my own body. I ate a large amount as a child, but had a fast metabolism which in turn kept me very thin. As I got older, my hips, butt, and stomach grew with every passing year. I remember being with old college friends that were also hard on their bodies, but to everyone’s knowledge, never as hard as me. I weighed 140 pounds and considered myself “thick.” I was taller than a lot of my girl friends and they thought they were heavy at 120 pounds. For the first three years of college, I was not confident, showed no self esteem, and thought of myself as a joke.
I now weigh 175 pounds and have never been more confident in myself, never had more self esteem, and take myself more serious now, although jokes are fun. I actually find myself attractive, and like my curves. People look at me today and still think of me as a typically skinny white girl. It doesn’t matter your race, size, age, or gender. Anyone can struggle with self esteem, and it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Suicidal thoughts can intrude, and depression and anxiety can become a problem.
I think that from my own life experience, I can say that the media has gradually become more aware of how to care for one self, and it has helped me. I am excited to keep evolving. There is still so much that needs to be done.

Who knows whether the cause of body positivity is a direct result of body negativy/shaming, but we can all agree it makes life a little bit more enjoyable when adopting this concept.
Body positivity stems from the fat acceptance movement presented in the 1960s. The movement’s purpose is to encourage people to feel free and loved in their own body; to accept all “quirks” and “flaws.” To love oneself as is.
