Demeaning Ads Get The Best Body-Positive Makeover

My Body Does, an online community dedicated to self-love, is fighting back against advertisements in New York City that shame women's bodies and promote negative body image. Using what the campaign calls "affirmation stickers," supporters of My Body Does are making their mark by placing positive messages over body-shaming images.

The stickers, which are available on the My Body Does site and include affirming messages like, "My body is a source of joy," have been seen on subway ads, mannequins and store windows. My Body Does co-founders (and yogis) Ashley Simon and Jess Andersen encourage members of their community to put them in "places in need of some body positivity."

Sharing affirmation stickers isn't the only project from My Body Does. Simon and Andersen also have a "My Body Muse" series on their blog that features people talking about their bodies, and they are hosting a gallery exhibition on March 19 that highlights societal body expectations.

Keep on fightin' the good fight, ladies.
