In a world where the people we follow on social media have the greatest impact on our lives, why do the majority of us follow people with unachievable lifestyles?


Social media has hundreds of millions of profiles and people who promote a healthier, realistic and positive life. This article will show you some of the most positive influencers who could transform your stream!

Lizzo

While being one of the most popular pop singers at the moment, Lizzo is also one of the most prominent voices in regards to body positivity. She wants to normalise everybody for what it is. In a recent interview with Vogue she said “I would like to be body-normative. I want to normalise my body," which sums up her social media pages and her attitude for change. Her music also has added to her urge for change.
