In Joann’s Journey to Self-Love, JoJo – Joann’s alter ego – talks about the huge impact of today’s beauty ideal on her life, and the long, hard road to self-acceptance.

As a big girl, JoJo is often called names or given unsolicited advice to lose weight. She feels as though her body is not acceptable, an impression reinforced by the images in magazines, on TV and social media. She keeps trying to conform to this perfect picture, but loses herself more and more in the process. Then, one day, she is asked to give a presentation about body positivity for school. Not only does she read all about beauty ideals, past and present, and photoshopped models, she also hears about the BoPo community for the first time. Little by little, she becomes more confident in herself and starts sharing her search for self-acceptance on social media.
