Since spearheading #TheBodyLoveRevolution, this actress has effectively changed the dialogue on body positivity

Movie projects, stints on television and a laundry list of brand endorsements: apart from the add-ons expected to come along for a seasoned actor, there’s something else that sets the likes of Iza Calzado apart. It’s the innate motivation to do more with the platform she’s given, a burning desire to advocate for worthwhile causes.

One advocacy in particular hits closest to home for Calzado, who has spent years openly speaking about her struggles with today’s unreasonable beauty standards: “I want to share with you a story of a girl who once believed she was not enough. Who grew up thinking that the only way she would be enough was to be this perfect creature,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “It wasn't until she started to accept and love herself, and stopped obsessing about the way it looks, that life truly changed for her. This is my story, and I hope that you can learn a thing or two from my self-love journey.”

With a message that resonates with most—if not all—women around the globe, Calzado’s #TheBodyLoveRevolution was born. It wasn’t so much a PSA for the world, but a love letter dedicated to women everywhere who may be experiencing the same back-and-forth struggle with self-esteem and self-love.

This is Iza Calzado’s big move, the milestone that Portraits is celebrating in this episode.
