Model and social\u00a0media sensation Tess Holliday is no stranger to making body positive statements on behalf of women the world over, but last night, Holiday took over\u00a0Toronto’s most overcrowded transit location to have her say. The mother of the iconic #effyourbeautystandards campaign joined nine other women at bustling Union Station in Toronto in just jeans and dark bras toting signs saying #IWontCompromise.”Yes for body diversity,” Holliday posted, commenting on her involvement with the campaign:\u00a0“yes to us embracing our bodies at all stages.”<\/p>\n
Organized by clothing brand Penningtons, the campaign encouraged passers-by\u00a0to take photos of all the curves and swerves on display, and to share these photos\u00a0on social media to jumpstart conversations about body positivity and self-acceptance. The women’s experiences were\u00a0live-streamed from the brand’s\u00a0Facebook page so that fans could see the signs on display.\u00a0One sign said, “Post this to fight for body diversity #IWontCompromise,\u009d while Holliday’s own sign read, Share this if you’re unapologetic #IWontCompromise.\u009d<\/p>\n
