You Are Beautiful
Kiki, Sally and Isabel use short film and original animation to target body shaming towards women.
“'We are our own worst critic' is often a phrase we use to describe when we, as individuals, are too hard on ourselves. For most people, it is a natural tendency to always be better, faster and stronger however this craze for becoming better can result in severe mental health consequences, especially when it comes time to our physical appearances.
Negatively commenting about the size or shape of anyone’s body can be extremely damaging - potentially leading to low-self esteem, anger, self-harm and even mental health disorders, specifically body dysmorphic disorder.
Body shaming manifests in many ways:
Criticizing your own appearance, through a judgment or comparison to another person.
Criticizing another’s appearance in front of them
Criticizing another’s appearance without their knowledge.
No matter how this manifests, it often leads to comparison and shame, and perpetuates the idea that people should be judged mainly for their physical features."
