Amidst the hustle and bustle of America’s heartland stood one lone female in a bikini. She was not some rail-thin supermodel; in fact, she described herself as “fat.”
Determined to promote the message that “all bodies are valuable,” Amy Pence-Brown had propped up a sign in front of her which read: I’m standing for anyone who has struggled with
a self-esteem issue like me…
Passersby responded beautifully. One woman immediately rushed over to tell Pence-Brown that she was “brave and powerful,” and to give her a hug. Many
offered written, verbal and non-verbal affirmations.
The human body is a precious one, a gift to be cherished. Anyone
who seeks a miracle might just want to look in the mirror. No matter what the fashion world promotes, all bodies are works of art, science and so much more.
