Speaker: Victoria Baptiste - The Beautiful You Movement
Victoria says “there are so many factors which can affect our self-image, often these factors are outside of our control and tend to be driven by others/what we think others think of us.
This movement is about self-acceptance, embracing who we are, allowing ourselves to exist unapologetically and standing together to support and empower each other.”
The Beautiful You Movement was founded in 2018 by Victoria Baptiste, Director of Flux Photographic.
Beautiful You was born as a result of Victoria's extensive experience in Body Positive portraiture and running Body Positivity and Mindfulness workshops primarily with women and young people.
