Enough is Enough.

This page is for everyone. Whether you are a feminist, someone who doesn't see anything wrong with the way the media portrays women, a man who wants a different perspective to the mind of a woman, or just someone who enjoys reading blogs. This is for you and ALL are W E L C O M E!!!


Now, what is this commotion all about?

  I'm sure you've all seen those commercials and videos of the " perfectly" skinny, perfect bodied Barbie doll women with unrealistic curves and a photo-shopped smile headlining our media. As we grow up and watch those "perfect" women, we think to ourselves.. "what would it take to BE THEM"?

        I'm here to tell you that those women that you aspired to be when we were younger , are highly overrated. I'm here to tell you that the women you see in the media; although they may seem perfect, are not "all that" and are not anything to look up to as you live out your life.

   As you are reading this you may be wondering " Who is this ?!! What gives her the right to tell us anything about image?" As a reply, I would say that you are right. Who am I? I'm just a girl who's seen the extensive damage that the unrealistic molds of women have caused. I am a girl who has grown up in the "technological" age , where everything is run by the media. I am also a girl who hopes to inspire a change of perspective in you. I'm here to tell you that whatever shape, size, color, etc. you are.. you are perfect. No amount of over sexualized women can change that.

      I'm also here to act as a voice for the women. A voice for those who's bodies are cut and distorted by photo shop. A voice for those who don't have the courage to speak up. A perspective fighting for and recognizing the women behind the photos and all that they are worth. As a woman, I am speaking for my own self worth.

    Who am I really? I am Alana. College student, friend, daughter, onlooker, fighter.
