Body Image

Body Image is something that effects both men and women of all of races, sizes, religions, and socioeconomic class.

There has been a multitude of research done that suggest there are no eating disorders or dissatisfaction with one's body in the African-American/Black and Latino/a culture.

Is this true? Are we satisfied with our bodies? Or are we just more satisfied then white women and men? Why are we more protected?

What is the ideal body type for a woman who is of color?
