We are thrilled to announce singer and actress Camila Cabello as the winner of the coveted Cybersmiler of the Month Award for the month of July, for her outstanding work in promoting body confidence and self-appreciation – encouraging her fans and the broader public to love, appreciate and celebrate their authentic selves.
The former Fifth Harmony singer and star of upcoming movie ‘Cinderella’ has long been an advocate of a body positive mindset. Having experienced negative body shaming comments herself in the media in 2019 she has spoken of the need to normalize unfiltered views of young women’s bodies and to reject unrealistic beauty standards, saying, “The saddest part of young girls growing up in an airbrushed world is they’re seeking a perfection that’s not real.”
Her latest message of support came this week as she posted a TikTok video with the comment ‘I luv my body’ to her 12.1 million followers. In the video she talks about being made to feel insecure and self-conscious after realising she was exposing cellulite on her bare stomach while going for a run. In an inspiring message of support, she went on to tell her fans, “But then I reminded myself being at war with your body is so last season. I am grateful for this body that lets me do what I need to do. We are real women with curves and cellulite and stretch marks and fat. And we gotta own that, baby.” The video has been a huge hit online with over 26 million views to date.
“Body shaming can have a devastating impact on people’s lives. Camila’s inspiring work to promote a body positive mindset resonates with millions of young people – many of whom might otherwise be at risk of being drawn into distorted self-image comparisons on social media. Cybersmile are grateful to Camila for her ongoing work in this important area.”
Dan Raisbeck, Co-founder, The Cybersmile Foundation
Camila’s honest and open “I luv my body” video, posted by the “Señorita” singer has been received well by her fans, with thousands of comments from her followers thanking her for being such a great role model and inspiration. She also shot the video with no makeup just to drive home the message of authentic unfiltered self-appreciation.
Everyone at Cybersmile would like to say a huge WELL DONE to Camila for promoting such inspirational and important messaging to those that need it most – Camila, you are a true Cybersmiler!
