La actriz y escritora canadiense Kenzie Brenna, está aprovechando su gran popularidad en las redes sociales para fomentar la aceptación de las mujeres hacia sus cuerpos.

Esta artista de 26 años ha publicado una serie de imágenes donde muestra que su saludable cuerpo -que alimenta bien y ejercita regularmente- no es perfecto.

De hecho, la chica ha revelado en varias fotografías que la celulitis es parte de su anatomía.

Aunque tenía algunas inseguridades al respecto, Brenna sabía que no estaba sola y por eso inició una campaña en redes sociales titulada #celluliteSaturday -algo así como “sábado de celulitis”– donde anima a las mujeres a amar y aceptar sus cuerpos, con piel de naranja e imperfecciones incluidas.

“Me pregunto cuántas personas realmente se preocupan por esto. Puse el hashtag #celluliteSaturday (junto a una foto de su celulitis) y me dije: ‘¿esto podría transformarse en algo?’ Y la respuesta fue tan abrumadoramente buena que ahora puedo decir: ‘Sí, es algo"”, confesó al medio estadounidense Today.

“No puedo decir sinceramente que me encanta esta parte de mi cuerpo, aún, pero estoy cada vez más lejos de odiarla”, escribió Brenna sobre sus muslos.

“Espero que celebres tu cuerpo hoy. Especialmente la parte esa a la que no le has estado diciendo cosas buenas todos estos años. Tu cuerpo te necesita, ámate”, señaló en la misma imagen.

“La celulitis no debería arruinar tu vida o la mía. La celulitis es la pequeña grasita que se acumula en lugares donde tu lindo cuerpo dice ‘necesitas más de esto aquí’, no es una condición médica. Es un problema de cosmética personal que una mujer tiene consigo misma debido a toda la abrumadora presión que nuestra cultura de la belleza ha puesto, diciendo que tu piel debe siempre lucir tersa y joven”, comentó.

Además de mostrar las imperfecciones de sus muslos, Brenna también ha revelado cómo luce su abdomen relajado, su cara con o sin edición, entre otras imágenes donde transparente su cuerpo tal y como es. Con esto ella pretende derribar la percepción errada que muchas mujeres tienen de la belleza, y que se basa netamente en lo que ven en las revistas o la televisión.

A continuación te mostramos algunas imágenes con que Brenna ha intentado empoderar a las mujeres y mostrarles que un cuerpo sano también puede lucir así.

Yaassssssssss kweens. You know what day it is! 👑 👸 🎉 Do I love this part of my body? No, absolutely not. No matter how many times I talk about it, no matter how many people support me, its engrained in me to understand that "if you have cellulite, that part of your body is not good looking." And some people will read this and nod their head. I get it. But I also recognize that this is from social conditioning. IF YOU THINK for some reason that we are born with a natural distaste for certain body types then you are wrong. Let me give you this example: (This example slays btw) 🙏✨ If cellulite wasn't attractive because its inherently in our DNA, then we wouldn't also shame women for having body hair. Makes sense right? Body hair grows on us and yet we shave it off because smooth, white, young looking skin is more desirable than the other. But wait! It's in our primitive mind to look for mates who can survive, so why do we instinctively think that body hair on a woman is unattractive? Considering body hair is developed by biological evolution. BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN RAISED TO THINK THAT. This is called cultural programming. This has nothing to do with what our cavemen minds think is attractive. And if you've been following my youtube videos I have spoke that our psychology cannot exist without the influence of our culture or the sub cultures around you. That would be called living in a "cultural vacuum" and it doesn't exist. If you recognize this, it's much easier to step out of your body and understand it from a sociological perspective. You can learn so so much about yourself once you realize how our minds and bodies work!! 🙆💕🙆💕🙆 I am no exception to this, cellulite monster inside of me still reigns her ugly head sometimes, but I acknowledge that this is social conditioning and I will not bow down to it. I will try to love myself. Over and over again.❤️ No matter how uncomfortable it makes me, no matter how hard, not matter what anyone says: I am on a journey for self love and I WILL NOT STOP. 🙅🙌🚫 #cellulitesaturday #thisbody #embracethesquish Also lovelies! Pls actually tag me in your pics! If you just @ me, it gets lost. Sowwie 💕💕💕💕💕

IF YOU TRY TO SELL ME YOUR CELLULITE TREATMENT, I DON'T WANT IT. 😷 Now thats out of the way… This girl goes to the gym 4-5x a week. She weightlifts, includes cardio and plyometrics, she eats a personal well balanced diet and has for the last year. For those of you who comment and tell me "if you only lost ten pounds your cellulite would go away," without having researched my page to see I have lost over 50 pounds and yes my cellulite appear has reduced but it has not "gone away." Here are the stats again: 93% of women have cellulite. AND- You have a 90% chance of developing cellulite if you're a woman. 🙆💕If those stats don't make you feel at home and normal in your body I don't know what will 💕🙆 We have made it a "COSMETIC issue" not an indication of health. This is straight from the doc's mouth, not mine. It has to do with a combination of genetics and hormones. Which you can really only fuck with to a certain extent. THE ONLY WAY TO REMOVE CELLULITE IS TO REMOVE FAT. Can you remove fat through a topical cream? By massaging it? By drinking green tea? By rubbing coconut oil on yourself? That's not how it works. Stop this misinformation right now. 👏Cellulite is normal. And the beauty industry capitalizes on saying we need it removed.👏 Again, I'm not going to shame a woman for trying to work to get rid of hers I completely understand and respect the decision to do so. This message isn't for her. This message is for women who crave acceptance, self love and want appreciation for their bodies as they exist right now. Also sorry for the dbl watermark, I saw some people using my photos and cropped out my name from them 🙃 how nice! #cellulitesaturday #mermaidthighs #effyourbeautystandards #bodypositivity #nobodyshame #lovetheskinyourein #thisiswhatfitlookslike

GOOD MORNINGGGG ✨☀️🌎 So, today is #cellulitesaturday 💆💜 Let's talk stats ok? These are pretty wild to me. 42% of girls in grade 1-3 want to be thinner 💔 78 fucking % of 17 year old girls are unhappy with their bodies 💔 "Teenage girls are more afraid of gaining weight then getting cancer, losing their parents or nuclear war." 😖😖😖 In 2013 the American Medical Association created a policy that really didn't go anywhere, stating that the effects of digitally altering images to impressionable youth were so harmful they cause HEALTH PROBLEMS. I'm not fucking making this shit up people. And did it do anything? Nope. That's why offering up my #realbody, unedited, unfiltered for you to look at, for trolls to rip apart, is important because we have LITERALLY FORGOTTEN WHAT REAL BODIES LOOK LIKE. To quote WIKIPEDIA "cellulite occurs in 80-90% of women, the prevailing medical condition is that it's 'merely the normal condition of many women.'" 👏NORMAL. It's fucking NORMAL.👏 With stats above it drives me so hard so that way my future daughters and sons grow up with more real images of bodies around them than I did. To pray their mental and physical health isn't as affected as mine was. #fuckyeahhhhh #thisbody #celluliteisokay #bodyconfidence #nobodyshame #recovery #bodyimage #bodyimageissues #cellulite

Let's get one thing straight: If you hate my body and send me a message like "go kill yourself" or "😷😷😷 disgusting"- I've already heard it. FROM MYSELF. There is no one better at hating me than me. I am an expert in it, I have a PhD in believing that I'm a piece of shit. So those things, don't actually hurt me or trigger me because I've been there and thought that and have told myself that before. I can't imagine saying it to someone else, though. I can't imagine telling a girl who wants to be a future mom to go kill herself. I can't imagine telling a girl who's in recovery from self harm to die. I can't imagine telling a girl who likes taking pictures, picking flowers and making collages that she's disgusting. But that's how offensive it is to have a body that doesn't look photoshopped/isn't trying to look photoshopped. It enrages people. But, anyways. Been there and done that with myself a long time ago, so you can't compete with hating me. I've won and CLOSED that race a long time ago. And there are much bigger problems in the world than hating someone's body. Just saying 🙆☺️🙏 #bepositive #nowimawarrior #beyourownkindofbeautiful

Can we all just take a moment and acknowledge that since I've started this I've gotten happier with myself? #cellulitesaturday ✨ I can't really hate this part of myself anymore. Not at least to the extent that I have in the past. Is this part of yourself really worth hating? Like your body has taken cute marshmallows and placed them al over yourself for you to relish in and you're gonna sandpaper them out? Remember the facts: •Cellulite is genetic and hormonal. •It is NOT an indication of health. No doc is ever going to say "okay now drop your pants, let's assess your cellulite and get you into treatment ASAP." 🙅🙅🙅🙅 •Cellulite affects 90% OF WOMEN. Look at the woman beside you today, she statistically will probably have some. Love her. Send her good vibes and know that this is a part of your body that you DONT! HAVE! TO! GET! RID! OF! I promise 💕✨💞 #LoveYourself #effyourbeautystandards #MarshmallowBodyIsWhatIAm #SoOkayWithThat

I did not want to post this picture. I tried to take a beautiful picture like @bodyposipanda inspired me to take and I just kept noticing my varicose veins, what my skin looks like after losing so much weight and I just sighed. Over and over again. I tried taking different pictures with different clothes even. "Maybe I'll just post a different one tomorrow." "Maybe if I brighten the photo it'll look better." But no, hell no. @nourishandeat reminded me last night that recovery IS NOT supposed to be comfortable. You are SUPPOSED to be uncomfortable while healing, that's what repairing yourself feels like. It does eventually feel good, you keep pushing and you'll have moments where you feel better, breathe better and you can just exist without obsessive need to be disordered. It obviously feels better than staying fucked up. Soooooo anywayssss💕 I need to post this pic because I don't want to. I need to or else I'm a bit of a hypocrite telling you all to do scary things if I can't live up to it too in moments that I'm not 100%. A lot of you did scary cellulite posts this weekend and IM SO PROUD OF MY BRAVE WARRIORS SO HERE. I. AM. Being inspired by all your courage and doing things that are continuously scary (sometimes not so scary.) Have a happy Monday fam 🙆✨💞 Keep doing scary things, keep healing, keep recovering, keep POSTING! #honormycurves #varicoseveins #whatchagonnadoooooo 🙃😶

I was debating on posting this earlier cause I thought "no you've been posting way too many selfies lately, you shouldn't be showing people you're that happy with yourself." LEGIT. STRAIGHT UP. IN MY HEAD THOUGHTS. Whyyyyy??? Where did this thought come frommmmm? I remembered my friend @dothehotpants said on twitter "I've spent too many years hating myself, I'll take as many damn selfies as I want thank u." And then my brain switched to YASSSS. I've spent my life hating, abusing and cutting my life. If I feel like I'm poppinnnnnn imma show you fam! I can't tell you enough how awesome this self love journey is and if I feel like celebrating myself and documenting the journey then I fucking will. Take a selfie. Share some love. Clean your room. #sundayvibes ✨🙆💖 #actuallyneedtocleanmyroom #sendhelp

Let's talk about boob jobs for a hot minute okay? Do not DAMN a woman or say she can't be a bopo warrior if she has one, alright? 🌸🌸🌸🌸 (Remember this may be a very important surgery for some bodies, like Trans* women!) Let's ask ourselves "why" she wants one. Attacking someone for changing apart of their body that society literally tells you on a day to day basis that you have to have bigger isn't helpful. It's not constructive, you don't encourage women learn about their situations, in fact you make things worse because once again we are taught to break each other down and fight against one another. #letsnotdodat What's the difference if I dye my hair or tattoo my eyebrows? What's the difference if I get botox or put on make up to appear younger? Is one really better than the other? 🙅 If we had fair representation in the media then the younger generation would grow up knowing that 1. Their boob size doesn't matter 2. Because their size doesn't matter 3. Because your self worth isn't a reflection of how much space you take up in the world I can't say I won't ever get a breast augmentation, I don't know what the future holds and I don't know what type of headspace I'll be in. But I want women to know it's okay, it's okay always. 💞 If we stay reflective, insightful we will figure it out together. The world is such a hard hard place already and small boobs, no boobs, big boobs, one boob etc should all be represented and considered beautiful 💕🙆✨ #BOOBSAREBEAUTIFUL #allbodiesaregoodbodies #womensupportingwomen #respectoneanother #BEFUCKINGNICE 😬💜
