About this listen
Body Image Warrior offers an insider's perspective on the curve model industry, in this uplifting story about one woman's mission to change the way we think about beauty and body image forever.
Part memoir and part positive body image manifesto, this is an insider's perspective on the industry and how the images the world gets to see are only part of the story. The modelling and advertising industries persistently tell women they're fat, ugly and abnormal if they conform to anything other than a western ideal of beauty. In 2002 Chelsea Bonner founded BELLA, a modelling agency focused on healthy body size and dedicated to changing our dangerously narrow perception of 'beautiful'.
Chelsea was born into the Australian entertainment industry, daughter of one of the country's most famous media couples, and grew up with the painful reality of her family life hidden behind a facade of gloss. She was expected to follow effortlessly in her parents' beautiful shadows, but her natural body shape led to teenage rebellion. Instead, Chelsea decided on a career as a modelling agent and, shocked at what she witnessed, became determined to change the industry from within. She has fought on through illness, broken relationships, the collapse of businesses and exclusion by powerful industry forces.

A great memoir
A lot to do with her memoir, not as much to do with the industry as I expected. I thought it would be an inside look. There was a lot more about author's life. Said very little in the blurb about discussions on mental health, which would have been a nice heads up. To call it a memoir, rather than a book about fashion would have been helpful.

AWESOME!
What a journey, an incredible and extraordinary woman. One, I that I personally feel so grateful is living in, and fighting for this world to be a better kinder world, at the same time as me and my daughter and my nieces. I feel extremely privileged to be privy to Chelsea’s sorry her innermost demons and struggles, at times similar to my own.
I enjoyed this book immensely, it made me reflect, challenge my own inner thoughts even more than before. I experienced so may aha moments. I certainly
hopeful I am a better person, and kinder to myself, for reading it.
Chelsea from the bottom of my heart thankyou for sharing and for all you all have done and are doing to make the this world a better place for not only women but all people of diversity. 🙏♥️
