age, certain measurements,
certain skin color then it
was up to us to change it. I
believe it is our duty to the
women of the present and
the women of the future
to change the rules. We
have the power to change
society’s view of beauty
through diversifying the film
and modeling industries. That’s
what the #noBODYbutmine
Campaign is here to do. Our
goal is to empower women by
breaking down the barriers and
showing the world that we need
age, size, and race diversity in
film and fashion, that diversity
is not just a suggestion but a
necessary missing element and
that that element
is beautiful. There
is a huge gap in
these industries
where women
over the age of
25, over a size 2,
or of a minority
background are
being passed over.
I gathered a group
of actresses and
models to demon-
strate how beauti-
ful and empower-
ing diversity
can be. The
face of our
campaign is
teen model

J, a Native
American/
Caucasian
actress,
body posi-
tive model,
and Youtuber.
Native Americans represent
less than 2% of the world’s
population and are hugely
unrepresented in the fashion
