Naked and Proud: 5 Inspiring Messages on Body Image from Top Female CrossFit Athletes

Michele Letendre Poses Naked and Sends A Powerful Message About Body Image

Michele Letendre: “In honour of #internationalwomensday. Johany Jutras gave me an opportunity to speak out a few weeks ago in LaPresse about the issues surrounding women’s body image. I had so much positive feedback from the article from both women and men, it was overwhelming.”

Read the article (it’s published in French) LES FEMMES ET LE SPORT – METTRE FIN AUX CRITIQUES

“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.”
