Rosie Molinary on Body Positivity and Self-Acceptance

Every person who lives in an appearance-obsessed culture like our own internalizes negative beliefs and attitudes towards their bodies.

Overwhelmed by these feelings myself, I decided to reach out to Rosie Molinary ‘96, author of two books on body image and self-acceptance, to find out how Davidson can strive to become a more body-positive environment and how I and other college women can come to be at peace with our own bodies.
