Description
In a world vying for the demise of “imperfect” bodies, what is the cost to find “peace?” For some, it has cost us affiliations, family, and friends. For those dedicated to liberation, peace may have been gritty, inconvenient, unconventional, and downright at times, chaotic. Nevertheless, we press on.
Setting the tone of the 2026 Body Image Summit, Dr. Joy Cox seeks to remind us that peace is ours for the taking, but that peace does not come without cost. A cost that we should see replenished through the affirmation of self, the tearing down of systems, and the recommitment to community.
