Of women that have existed for hundreds of years. So that leaves us with one option, which is changing it ourselves, showing what's real with no filter and certainly with no shame. You are helping the movement of strong, modern women when you show the parts of yourself that we have been forever told to hide.

So as a first step, I encourage you to find a healthy balance between expressing the natural, vulnerable side of yourself with the glamorous contoured side. As much as I like to share photos from shoots and red carpets, I think it's much more important to show what I look like the other ninety-nine percent of the time.

Some days I feel strong and confident, and other times I'm sucked into the rabbit hole of awful comments where strangers are criticizing parts of myself that I wasn't even aware of. So how do I let every day be one of those victorious days where I feel invincible? I don't, I don't know.

I don't have the perfect solution, but I have discovered some things that do help me have those better days. I started to purge myself of content that made me feel less beautiful on a daily basis. I unfollowed the accounts on Instagram that made me question the shape and curves of my own body.

I also started living a more active lifestyle because I wanted to feel healthy on the inside, which required some thoughtful effort on my part. But I wanted to know that I was healthy and strong without having identical measurements to those other women that I was seeing. Remind yourself that this perfect world you see online, in magazines or movies and TV are presented to you through so many different filters.

So do not set impossible goals of meeting those fake standards. It's unrealistic to think that your body or my body will ever look like anyone else's. That's not the way it's supposed to be.

We are all imperfectly beautiful, so let's embrace that and practice that in a healthy way. There is a massive worldwide community of women who are rooting for beauty to be recognized in every shape and color that we come in. I mean, events like this Glamour Summit are a part of that movement.

So embracing your natural beauty does not exclude anyone. There is no fine print. You can be naturally beautiful with acne or scars, cellulite or curves.

So let's celebrate each other and ourselves as we are, as we will be, and as we were meant to be, unique, imperfect, beautiful, and so incredibly powerful. Thank you.
