Inspired by a project by The Liberators International in Australia, Amy Pence-Brown decided to go out of her own comfort zone to encourage people to be proud of their body, even with flaws.

Amy, a mother of four from Boise, has caused a stir on the Internet for stripping down to a bikini, blindfolding herself, and inviting strangers to write on her nearly naked body.

The project was done to promote self-love and healthy body image, and Amy was blown away by just how positive the response was.

Amy started the Boise Rad Fat Collective, “a group of socially engaged Idahoans of all shapes and sizes who are fed up with mainstream media and society telling us what a valuable body should do\be\act\look like,” she wrote on her blog.

So, in an effort to spread self-love, Amy walked out to a market in Boise, Idaho, took off her clothes, blindfolded herself, and asked strangers to draw hearts on her body.

And so people did.

The experiment was filmed by other members of her group, and you can see a video of it here.

“I was scared that I might get asked to leave by the police or that people would yell terrible things at me or that no one would draw a heart on my body and I’d stand there alone and crying for minutes that felt like hours,” Amy Pence-Brown said on her blog. “Well, none of that came true. Except for the crying part.”

Amy Pence-Brown did the project to show the world that everyone should be proud of their body, even with flaws.
