The English model stripped on a subway to create awareness
In order to put an end to body shaming, an English model has stripped on a NYC subway in front of a crowd to protest. The model in one of her latest attention-raising stunts, the 26-year-old delivered an empowering speech on accepting one’s own body in the most unconventional way — by stripping on the subway in New York City.
While Iskra Lawrence started her career as a model, she’s set herself apart in the industry by becoming a body positive advocate.
“I want to make myself vulnerable today, so you can see truly the journey I’ve come on with my own body and how I feel about myself today,” she said to the packed subway car in the video, which was posted to her own channel and has received more than 45,000 views since it was posted on Sunday.
“So I’m gonna reveal myself to you to prove that we are in control of how we feel about ourselves. No one else holds our self-worths but us.”
The model then took off her black dress to reveal her bra and underwear. At this point, commuters started to pay attention.
Lawrence spoke passionately on the importance of not letting self-worth be determined by societal beauty norms and the media.
