The rise of social media, the cover of magazines and the beauty standards set by society throughout the years made body diversity null, and only certain types of bodies were deemed “acceptable”. Now, body positivism is a movement that has been growing stronger in recent years and it focuses on the inclusion of everyone, regardless of their shape and weight.

A positive example of this is Alana Thompson, better known as Honey Boo Boo. 

Alana Thompson, star of TLC’s “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” grew up in the spotlight. Her and her family first came to the American public in “Toddlers and Tiaras”, a reality show that followed the contestants of a child beauty pageant and their families. We’ll be discussing Alana’s recent remarks on body positivity and how her mentality has helped her get there even when she has received so much criticism from a young age.
