Radical Self-Acceptance: An Experiment/Performance by Amy Pence-Brown from Melanie Flitton Folwell on Vimeo.

This small act of activism may have the power to quiet down huge insecurities and fears.

To help promote self-love and body acceptance, Amy Pence-Brown stripped down to her bra and underwear in a busy farmers market in Boise, ID, with a sign that read, "I'm standing for anyone who has struggled with a self-esteem issue like me, because all bodies are valuable. To support self-acceptance, draw a <3 on my body." Amy said she was inspired by a similar act from Jae West of The Liberators International. After watching the video, Amy wondered whether or not a positive reception would also be given to herself, "How would it be received if the woman had been less socially acceptable in appearance, like, fat? And, say, a mom who's nearly 40 years old? And in a place that was more conservative and less progressive than London like, say, Boise, Idaho?," she wrote on her blog.
