Lane Bryant has enlisted actresses Danielle Brooks and Gabourey Sidibe in the brand’s powerfully simple new ad, aptly called #ThisBody Is Made To Shine.

Actresses were there to inspire women of bigger sizes not be ashamed of their bodies. The point of the campaign, according to a release from the brand, is to “spotlight what it means to unapologetically celebrate themselves in spite of any adverse feelings or feedback.”

These beautiful Black ladies show us how to stay confident with our bodies no matter how we look. Women are always targets of standard beauty propaganda and whitewashing and have troubles loving their natural appearance. This picture is saying LOVE yourself no matter what flaws you have.
