Advertisement has had a negative impact on people’s body image and self-esteem, particularly young girls. This talk is a call to action to truly understand that these body ideals simply do not exist, and to promote healthy self image.

Sofia Rodriguez-Dantzler is a sixth grader at Scarlett Middle school. She enjoys art and likes to sketch people. Her other interests include running and being apart of the track team. She would like to talk about body image because she knew a girl who was bullied because of her size even though she was healthy and a kind person.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
