In 2002 Chelsea Bonner founded BELLA, a modelling agency focused on healthy body size and dedicated to changing our dangerously narrow perception of 'beautiful'.

Like most people, Kimberly Rae Miller does not have the perfect body, but that hasn't stopped her from trying. And trying. And trying some more. Her first attempt to use food to change her body came at age four, when she learned that the Inuit ate fat to stay warm in the winter.

We live in a nation and a world that is divided over so many things. Rather than focus on the many things that unite us, we search for the things that divide us. Instead of embracing our differences and being thankful for them, we choose to use them as a source of fuel to further ignite our anger towards another. I would like you to join me on a journey.
