She’s Proud Of Her Body And We’re Proud Of Her!

“In the photograph, Samm Newman is smiling. She’s got that Lorde look with her wet, curly hair tossed all the way to one side. Her eyes are as blue as the cover of her cell phone, and she poses for the selfie hand at her side, stomach bare. Her white bra and pink polka dot underwear don’t match, not that they even need to, because that’s not the point. She’s happy and she’s proud. She’s also 19 years old. And a size 24.

The Ohio teen posted the picture to Instagram on Saturday. This was only the second post of Newman’s that revealed her stomach. (The first time, she’d been wearing a bikini.) But she wanted to join the ranks of plus-sized woman on Instagram using the hashtags #pizzasisters4lyfe and #bodylove to share messages of body positivity and create a space of inclusion on the social network.” *
