About The Body Project

The Body Project is for women, and our mission is to create awareness about body-acceptance and self-love in a society where beauty standards and body-type bashing are so prevalent.

Katy Wimer of katy daixon photography is working to create a book of photographs and personal stories of women of all shapes, sizes, personalities, etc. that makes a statement on the phrase "body positive." Each woman will choose a body part(s) that they have been least secure about and will write an affirmation on that part for their photograph. Sessions run Sundays until the middle of June.

What We Need

SUGGESTED DONATION: $10

We need roughly $3,000 in order to:

1. Cover costs of the sessions

2. Host a gallery night/reception in the fall at the Cultural Arts Center in Whitewater, WI.

3. Maintain The Body Project blog: www.lovebodyproject.wordpress.com

4. Create t-shirts by Zany Du Designs:

*Any extra money raised will go toward future projects or a second installment of this project.

The Impact

Your contribution to this cause will help spread the ideas of body-acceptance and self-love and help us raise funds for a gallery night/reception once the project is finished. Depending on how much you give, you may also get a little piece of the project in the form of a t-shirt, magazine, or book.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't contribute financially, that's okay! Please share the campaign with those you think would be interested, spread the word around about The Body Project and it's mission. You can also simply cheer the women on with positive reinforcement and perhaps join yourself or encourage others to join the project.
