Actress Iza Calzado recently uploaded on social media then and now photos of her.
She wrote as caption: "Meet Big. She was teased a lot by her family and friends. A lot of them were well meaning and even came from a place of love and concern but the truth with name calling or labels is that it sticks and you may carry it with you or believe in it."
According to her, it takes a whole level of confidence, courage, and strength to break free from these. That’s why she wants to support the #StopTheNameCalling movement.
"So young girls, like this one here no longer have to endure years of fighting to be seen and known beyond the names," she said.
Iza hopes that people can stop normalizing name calling.
"From being big to dreaming big, here now is Iza," she declared. "No longer making size a source of pain but rather a source of power. Shine bright, ladies. You are enough."
