This beautiful girl in the adorable pink dress picture above is Jewel Moore, she is a high school junior in Farmingville, Virginia. She started an online petition asking to Disney to create a plus size princess.
It has been said many times that Disney promotes an unrealistic expectation for girls to live up to.
She wrote this on her Change.org page, since Disney has such a huge influence on young girls, it should create a princess with a curvy body to ‘show support to a group of girls who are otherwise horrendously bullied by the media.’
As with everything, some people agree and some don’t. Many people have praised her for trying to end body shaming and create a more realistic image. Others think a ‘plus-size’ princess instead of a normal-size one would be heading in the wrong direction. Some feel that the focus should be on having a ‘normal’ princesses with realistic and healthy dimensions instead.
Jewel’s petition, titled ‘Every body is beautiful‘ currently has 861 signatures so far.
She says that she created the page ‘because I’m a plus-size young woman, and I know many plus-size girls and women who struggle with confidence and need a positive plus-size character in the media.
I say good for her! I am all for it! How do you feel about this?
Wishing you Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust
