Lindsay’s mission statement is to help others overcome negative self esteem to build confidence and authority. Watch her mission in action.

Meet Lindsay Rae
Lindsay Rae is an award-winning empowerment photographer turned body image activist, whose TEDx talk has been viewed 70,000 times. Now she teaches students and professionals how to turn self hate into self love. While photographing over 700 women she realized how damaging the beauty propaganda machine is, and it all hinges on one word: “If.” IF I can live up to some teeny narrow-minded societal standard of beauty, then maybe I’ll be happy?” Lindsay is on a mission to break this stigma and encourage students to embrace their unique qualities while becoming more inclusive-minded individuals because everyone deserves to feel welcome and confident on campus. Through unveiling tricks of the beauty industry, sharing stories of overcoming trauma, and giving concrete tools for changing the way we talk to ourselves, Lindsay empowers students to silence their “if’s” and embrace the beauty and individuality of themselves and their peers

“You brought me on a journey. One that left me with goosebumps, tears in my eyes and a sense of empowerment that couldn’t help but bubble up to the surface. This is a PSA that should be required for every young girl navigating the ugly side of this world. You spoke to my 12 year old, overweight, inner child who didn’t know how to rectify my father’s comment of ‘putting on some weight there huh kiddo? The whole world needs to hear this message. Bravo!”

“Good Morning! I just want to thank you. I am very insecure about my body. I actually wear everything too big to hide it, at least I used too. Reading your posts and watching you had helped me more than you could ever know. Most people see me as this confident and fierce woman. The fierce is there to cover the insecurity. Every time I read a post from you a layer of that insecurity is removed. You may not realize it but you are changing lives everyday. You have most certainly changed mine. Thank you! Side note my sons godmother is a photographer in Virginia and when I went to visit her she and I were discussing how badass you are and how talented you are. Clearly your reach is farther than you know. And your style is untouchable and you are unstoppable. Thank you again for helping me love me.. I lost that for a long time. I appreciate everything about you and your daughter is the absolute cutest
