My Journey to Self-Acceptance as an SSBBW - Bex Bedford

Rebecca "Bex" Bedford is a self-acceptance champion, body positive activist, public speaker, and entrepreneur. In 2013, Bex started her vlog channel on YouTube, and it quickly gained traction garnering hundreds of thousands of views. In her videos, she speaks frankly about all facets of life as a person of extended size, her struggles, and triumphs with self love and self acceptance, and topical commentary on current events in the plus-size world. Her initial YouTube channel was named "Being an SSBBW" (Super Sized Big Beautiful Woman), yet Bex felt like the acronym no longer represented her message, but felt more exclusive, focusing too much on looks, size, and gender. In 2019, Bex made the leap to change her brand to Bex Bedford, which affords her the ability to just be herself, not bound by any one notion or group, allowing her to be her true authentic self. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: - The journey of self-acceptance that Bex has been through. - How Bex responds to people making fun of her in public and online. - A bit about Bex's dating experiences.
