The Bodzilla on fat positivity and body acceptance

April Hélène-Horton isThe Bodzilla. An online moniker that has won tens of thousands of social media fans thanks to April’s loud and proud revolutionising of beauty standards.

April not only reveals the absence of diverse bodies in the media but she is part of the solution. She was the first plus size model to appear in a bikini as part of a major Australian advertising campaign. Of that experience, April has said "I was the first fat chick on a billboard, and I don't want to be the last.”

In this conversation, Jamila Rizvi and April Hélène-Horton go deep on the body inclusivity movement in Australia, where we need to go from here and how to navigate tricky topics around body descriptors with young children.
