About this campaign
Veronica Arreola created the #365feministselfie challenge for the year 2014, and it grew and developed into a beautiful online community of women supporting and empowering other women. Members of the Facebook #365feministselfie group came together in Portland to meet and learn and grow more together, with educational speakers and workshops, and we are planning a second conference for November in the Midwest. This conference will be about moving our amazing online community into real life, education in feminist issues, body love and acceptance, and more.
From 365feministselfie.com:
#365FeministSelfie is a radical response to the theory that selfies are
vain or plain right stupid. Many of the participants in
365FeministSelfie are using this challenge to create media that
includes:
People of color People with disabilities People with chronic illness Not-picture perfect parenting Gender non-conforming bodies Aging beautifully People fighting mental illness and the every day struggles of life itself.
The vast majority of participants identify as women, but we have men
and those who do not fit into the gender binary in the project as well.
Most participants live in the USA or Canada, but we do have participants
in Australia, the UK and Mexico as well.
So what is feminist about selfies? The people participating in this
project are not seeking external validation through their photos. Rather
they are creating media that includes people who do not fit the
mainstream definition of beauty...although we have some of those too!

This has been such an amazing year and a half experience, to learn to face myself in the camera and show up - just as I am. I'm so excited by the number of amazing people I've met through this, too!
Participating in this project helped me to stop being so critical of flaws in the mirror and just BE ME. It helped me become even *more* comfortable in my own skin. Love it!
I participated the #365FeministSelfie Project throughout 2014 and found it inspiring and empowering.
