#NoBodyButMine CAMPAIGN TO PROMOTE RACE, SIZE, AND AGE DIVERSITY IN FILM, MODELLING, AND FASHION SO THAT WOMEN ALL OVER THE WORLD CAN BE REPRESENTED! and entertainment industries, this young woman plans on changing that. At an age when most of us have the lowest self-esteem she has embraced herself and body positivity. In addition to modeling, running a YouTube channel, and being a signed actress, she also main- tains a GPA above a 4.0, vol- unteers, and tutors classmates. She is helping lead the way for the most impressionable group page 34 of women there is. Teens. It is this young woman and others like her that are the future. We must support and empower our youth because they are the women of tomorrow. I want every little girl to be able to open up a magazine or turn on her tv and see a woman being portrayed as beautiful that she can relate to. Women of all ages, sizes, and races should be able to say to themselves that DESIREE JONES (FOUNDER) #noBODYbutmine is needed to be successful. That my friends would be a beautiful thing! ■
