adiopositivity.jpg It was with so much joy that I found out one of my favorite Latin@ bloggers, Bianca Laureano got her photo taken for the amazing project: Adipositivity. According to the website, Adipositivity is:

The Adipositivity Project aims to promote size acceptance, not by listing the merits of big people, or detailing examples of excellence (these things are easily seen all around us), but rather, through a visual display of fat physicality. The sort that’s normally unseen.

The hope is to widen definitions of physical beauty. Literally.

My favorite thing about this project is how many of us Latin@s ever are represented outside of a Jennifer Lopez, Eva Mendes or even (my honey) Salma Hayek ideal? We all know that there’s beauty in those ideals–but most of us Latin@s are beautiful in ways that do not conform to Hollywood extremes. I love that Bianca represents a Latin@ ideal–and I highly recommend all VLatin@s make it over to the website to enjoy the rest of the Adipositivity project!
