November 2024 Updates
Body Respect Week is Nov. 11-15 and will bring holistic, body-positive health events to the Tulane community!
The messages we receive about our bodies and health can be confusing and oftentimes misleading. We are often told to love our bodies or to embrace body positivity, but Body Respect Week asks us to shift our thinking. Instead—whether we feel completely comfortable with our bodies or not—what if we respected our bodies just as they are and for all that they do for us? It invites us to embrace our neutral states, without fear, shame, or pressure. This takes an unlearning of what society has told us matters about our bodies and a relearning of who we truly are. Body Respect Week is an invitation to reclaim the body respect that is your birthright.
