"It [body positvity] turned from an equal rights movement to a self-love hashtag." 
This quote is taken from Raffela Mancuso, my guest for this episode of Teen-y. Raffela is a mental health advocate, a diet culture disruptor, and an overall badass, opening up conversations about who the body-positive space is for. In this episode, we discussed the post that made her go viral, and we get down to the root of where body positivity started, and why it started. Raffela is a university student studying psychology and is putting in the work of 'building a bigger table' (as Raffela would say) for more voices in the body-positive space and in the mental health space. Make sure you go check her out after this episode on her Instagram @raffela_mancuso, and read her original post! Thank you so much for tuning in!
