  • This is simply truth. Powerful truth. On a curious not though, does anyone know about the making of this film, because a handful of the people in this video look familiar from MCTC.

  • @spudokeefe We did the video here in the Twin Cities and most of the women in it are people I know personally. I put out a call to my friends and on facebook asking for women to be in the video and all the women in the video responded.

  • Reminds me to be my tenderest, fiercest self.

  • @Gibberish185 This is a lighthouse for people. A sanctuary of comfort, a retreat from the things they're bombarded with by these loathsome little jackals. All the snipes about their weight that they get on a daily basis, all of the "we're just concerned for your health" hissed at them from behind sadistic smiles, they deserve a place to go to escape from it. That's why I agree with the video owner. If haters gonna hate, then let them do it someplace else.

  • Stunning, thank you. PeopleOfSize(dot)com.

  • Very Beautiful!

  • @Gibberish185 There are people here who have anonymity and just get wild be disrespectful. So, as I can understand what you are expressing I will continue to monitor was is meant to be uplifting. My piece is not something that should bring about anger/disrespect.

  • As a women in the world of hip hop and well, just a woman in general, I know this all to well. But I don't think that anyone who is posting negativity on this video is doing it because they feel silenced. Speaking you mind is not the same as being negative about something that is meant to be uplifting.

  • @desdamonaone I agree with the message you're sending with this comment, but you're going about it in the wrong way I think.  Sure, it'd be great if negativity wasn't so prevalent in the world. But there's something else that's all too prevalent in the world. People being silenced. Too often is it in this world that certain groups or people are not allowed to speak their mind out because the authority keeps them pinned down.

  • this is brilliant x

  • This was so gorgeous it brought tears to my eyes. Goddess bless you all.

  • Thank you so much for this, I struggle with self image a lot due to a rough past but this made me see that I am beautiful because of how I look, that my belly shows my strength from giving birth and nursing my son for so many years! :D You are amazing and I love this video so much. THANK YOU!!!!!! ♥
