Societal expectations on how women should look are everywhere.
Today, progress has been made.
Women have more agency.
Body positivity is being celebrated.
Broadcast journalistMeredith Vieiraactively uses her platform to shine a light on serious topics and issues to spark change.
“I had a big butt, but all of me.
I was a chubby girl,” she started.
This experience altered how Vieira saw her body at a young age and led to unhealthy eating habits.
Here’s how Vieira is breaking the vicious cycle for her children.
“I’m always struggling with it,” she explained.
We’re all human beings and we’re all sensitive."
Years of her personal body image struggles motivated Vieira to celebrate body acceptance with her daughter, Lily Cohen.
How did she accomplish that?
“I think she knows all my issues,” Vieira toldJenna Bush Hager.
“She is her dad.
She’s such a strong personality and so grounded.
And I mean, I think she’s beautiful anyway.”
Her fight for body positivity goes beyond her family.
