Alexa was the project leader who spear-headed the talk on promoting healthy eating and self esteem. She wrote the script itself and wanted to lift the veil surrounding eating disorders and the destructive nature of western beauty standards, while sharing her story of strife and perseverance.

She is typically an upbeat, bubbly, and loud personality that stands out among a crowd; she uses a lot of this to cover up her own insecurities. Through this script, she dropped the mask of being carefree and opened up a part of her fears and insecurities that, until then, she had hid from everyone.

  • [Normal] Boys didn't like me. I got comments like, "I'd sleep with you... if you were skinnier." Followed by, "Doesn't that make you feel pretty?"[Sad/Pensive] Pretty. Pretty.  What does pretty even mean? This hollow word that had no depth. But I had such depth. 

  • [Pained] I lost and lost and lost until I lost myself. I saw ribs. I saw veins. And then it came back. My disease.

  • [Hopeful] I want to smile without worrying
    about all my chins. I want to have the time to make myself happy. I want to be
    able to move around comfortably in my skin. In 5 years, I want to love
    myself like I like the world.
