Beyond Barbie is a project we started that posts women's and men's stories surrounding body image and eating disorders on Instagram. Transparent Mirrors is really about destroying the stigma that surrounds eating disorders as well as stressing the urgency to refute negative body image ideals. By sharing students and individual's stories, showing others that they’ve been in the same boat, we are hoping to create a safe space for people to discuss their struggles and ultimately inspire and help others. There is already so much ignorance and negativity in the world today- eating disorders and negative body image are two of the most preventable problems our society faces, yet they are also some of the most prevalent. As hard and painful as it is, it’s time we pull back the blinds and start talking- people’s lives literally depend on it.
