“We can’t truly love one another until we fully love ourselves.”

Inspired by a project by The Liberators International in Australia, Amy Pence-Brown decided to go out of her own comfort zone and bring self-love to The States in a viral video.

She wrote on her blog, "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?"

Amy started the Boise Rad Fat Collective, "a group of socially engaged Idahoans of all shapes and sizes who are fed up with mainstream media and society telling us what a valuable body should do\be\act\look like," she wrote on her blog.

Soon the group got so big, it became public, and anyone was invited to join. She said on her blog, "We're a positive bunch who share lots of news on cutting-edge literature and scientific studies and fun films and personal stories."
