Body Positivity: The Movement that Changed My Life | Neha Parulkar | TEDxEMWS

Rigid societal norms and stereotypes have since long determined the way we live our lives and perceive the world around us; including one’s self-image. The impact? Thousands and millions worldwide feeling suffocated by restrictions of how they must look and present themselves in order to be considered ‘desirable’. Not many have dared challenge these norms, and body positivity influencer and plus-size model Neha Parulkar has made it her mission to change that. Through an eye-opening account of her struggle with her appearance, Neha, an avid advocate for body positivity and self-acceptance, aims to use her platform as a model and blogger to empower individuals from around the world. Neha Parulkar is a plus size model and body positivity influencer who used her experiences of fat shaming to empower herself, her mission, and her career. Through her tagline 'plus and proud', she works to challenge the rigid expectations of society, and was the first plus size Indian model to walk the Lakme fashion week, that too 4 years in a row. She has been featured in magazines and newspapers like Femina, Cosmo India, Mumbai mirror, TOI, and Bombay times, and was also nominated for Superwoman of the year 2019. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
