Danielle Brooks, body positive queen, has an insightful story to share about what it’s like when you compare your body to other women’s
If you’ve ever given in to embarrassment in public locker rooms or let your self-esteem get knocked down a notch by looking enviously at people who seem to be in “perfect” shape, Danielle Brooks has an important message for you.
You wait a moment, Doctor. Let’s get it right. I’ve got a few things to say to you. Basic stuff first. Never be cruel, never be cowardly, and never ever eat pears. Remember, hate is always foolish and love is always wise. Always try to be nice and never fail to be kind. Oh, and you mustn’t tell anyone your name. No one would understand it anyway. Except…except children. Children can hear it sometimes, if their hearts are in the right place and the stars are, too. Children can hear your name. But nobody else. Nobody else, ever. Laugh hard, run fast, be kind. Doctor, I let you go.
