It’s not easy to grow up in a society that is just jam-packed with all these notions about what women should be like. It was as if they have a whole slideshow on what defines a ‘woman’ from how they look and act to the things they love .
Some women love to work out, some love to eat. That’s what being unique means for everyone. Some women don’t like pink; some adore ‘Hello Kitty’ to death. Illustrator Akansha Choudhury decided to bring this topic in her illustrations, imparting a huge reminder for women that their worth is more than the gap of their thigh or their hip size.
There’s nothing you can do to make everyone like you. So remember to be YOU whatever they say as long as it’s healthy. They should be the ones ashamed for making such discriminatory insults towards one’s appearance!
