Lindy West – Undisclosed
Lindy West is a successful author who helped write the script of the series ‘Shrill’ alongside actress Aidy Bryant. She is also a vocal activist for body positivity because she has been bullied all her life for being heavy. The strong woman decided to take control of the narrative when she published the blog post ‘Hello, I am Fat.’
West encourages all people to take charge of how they wish their stories to be; all bodies are to be celebrated regardless of their shapes and sizes. Lindy is not against weight loss, but she urges people to do what feels right for them and not out of pressure from others who only appreciate skinny bodies.
