Adipositivity Project

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!

Little did you know that VivirLatino’s new secret mission is to start an all chica girl blogger gang. Ok not really but the newest member of the VivirLatino familia sure is bad ass. Please join me in welcoming La Macha on board as a VivirLatino Editor.
La Macha is a blogger, una mujerista, and a queer chicana. She has blogged at multiple political sites for the past three years, and remains committed to community driven social justice centered media. La Macha blogs about everything from revolution in Oaxaca to women of color led movement making to Salma Hayek.
In La Macha’s spare time, she is an amateur photographer, an academic, and twitter addict.
You all don’t understand how psyched we are over here to have la Macha on board and I know she’s happy to be here too!
