Whitney gained even more attention after the sushi chain Tanuki posted an advertisement featuring her image on Twitter. What followed was a wave of outrage, with users accusing the company of discrimination. The backlash became so strong that the company was eventually forced to publicly apologize for the actions of its managers.
But the most important message Whitney shares with her followers is simple and powerful: a woman’s happiness has nothing to do with her weight.
Yes, an active lifestyle can make us healthier. But extra weight is not a reason to hide from the world or put your life on hold while waiting for a certain number to appear on the scale. Life is meant to be lived here and now – loving yourself and accepting who you are today.
Just as important is learning not to let judgmental voices and negative opinions control your life.
If you haven’t seen this video yet, take a moment to watch it and see Whitney for yourself. Then share it with your friends. Who knows – maybe this is exactly the kind of inspiration you or someone close to you needs to overcome fears, let go of insecurities, and finally enjoy dancing without worrying about stereotypes or prejudice.
