“This is my body. Everyday I’m still learning to love and accept it. It’s definitely a process but I’m so thankful for incredible people like @skycowans from @buzzfeed for opening up conversation about body image in the media and how we’re progressing societally. Thank you for allowing us to represent a diverse group of strong female athletes with all different body types.
I never, in a million years, thought I’d take pictures in lingerie, but it was for a cause far greater than myself and my insecurities. I walked away inspired, empowered, and with a new found confidence. But more importantly, hope to help others feel the same.”

“Michele Letendre: Because of strong women like her who have a message to send, we can move forward as a unit in society. I want to thank every woman and man out there who have had their hand in allowing us, men AND women, to really be who we are today. Although there is still work to be done, and there is a lot of turmoil, we are far better off than we once were.”
