I think the underlining message Lee presents in her book is we need to make body positivity the norm. When we look at bodies, our initial thoughts should be: this is a human being. They have feelings, emotions, and abilities that should be recognized and celebrated. The idea of being kind should not be a difficult one.
My take away after reading I’ll Be The One is Lee’s book is going to change someone’s life. As an author she is edifying body positivity. Inspiring young people to love their bodies. Where they, and we, can challenge and change social norms, demanding to be seen, acknowledged, and respected.
