April Helene-Horton AKA - The Bodzilla

This week we welcomed our first ever guest to the She Is Legend virtual cupboard – April Helene-Horton aka – The Bodzilla. April is an absolute powerhouse in the Fat Liberation movement and fiercely believes that every body is a good body. She strives for allyship for marginalised groups and she is the first to pass the mic to amplify voices who need to be heard. She recently became the first plus size woman to appear in a bikini on a billboard in Australia, as a part of the Curvy Swimwear “Beach, Please” campaign. The incredible imagery of her, on a beach, rocking a bikini can now be seen in all it’s glory on billboards around the country. We spoke to April about everything from growing up as a “fat kid”, to her turning point on the road to body love and acceptance, her advocacy and her plans for the future. This was such an awesome chat with a woman who is very deserving of her Legendary status. A must listen for everyone, in all kinds of bodies!

You can find April on Instagram @thebodzilla or on her website www.thebodzilla.com
