The outpour of support from around the world to end body shaming this summer has been overwhelming! From North Korea Times reporting on American body positive babes to CNN’s HLN Network, The Huffington Post, Bustle and even tabloid mill The Daily Mail (caution don’t read comments) covering the hottest (no pun intended) body positive campaign of the summer- we couldn’t be more overjoyed.
Leave it to social media to turn a hashtag into a viral social movement to reclaim our bodies at the beach this summer. Here’s some of our favorite #DropTheTowel inspired photos.
