In this unfiltered series, I talk candidly about issues I feel strongly about. Today, I’m talking about the relationship between the media and eating disorders.

In this video, I talk about how anybody in society can be dealing with eating disorders. Body image is directly linked to what we’re seeing the media, and I believe that the media really needs to take responsibility for how it’s making us see ourselves. The media keeps telling us beauty is young and slim, and that doesn’t represent all the beauty out there that we should be celebrating.

Watch below, and let me know what you think in the comment section below.

Iskra on how the media is still making us see ourselves.
