Born in Mozambique and growing up in Maryland, where pretty was synonymous with white and skinny, curvy and brown-skinned Carmen spent most of her middle school days in the bathroom at school trying to “fix” herself in the mirror. Eventually, the homogeneity Carmen was surrounded by created so much self-hate that she turned to cutting herself in order to find relief from the alienation and sadness. It wasn’t until she came to New York City, where Carmen began to see her likeness, both on the streets and in other bigger sized role models in the media, that Carmen began to love her body. Recognizing that she felt the most insecure at her skinniest, today Carmen feels beautiful like a Renaissance painting, with her rolls, thick thighs, and overall “squishiness.” Feeling “not too fat for anything,” she is now smashing the status quo as a model herself and continuing the up and down journey of healing her wounds. #stylelikeu#gettingdressed#bodyimage #bodyacceptance#bodypositive#selfharmscars#relationships#model We’d like to extend a special thank you to sponsor, Mad Hippie, for supporting our movement and helping to bring this episode to life.

Living in a Van without Succumbing To The Man. For Artist, Activist, and Community Event Producer, Corinne Loperfido, it was the combination of a dad with the motto, “if it’s free it’s for me,” a friend who said, “who needs a man when you have a van?” and a teacher who asked her, “what are you willing to risk?” to protect the environment, that led to a life-changing “aha” moment. Two years ago, Corinne radically changed her existence when she moved into a van and began living a zero-waste lifestyle, buying essentially nothing that couldn’t be returned to the earth (besides the fuel that she uses as efficiently as possible). By wholeheartedly committing to the future of our planet, Corinne stepped onto a path to her most awakened, humble, empowered and stylish self. #stylelikeu#gettingdressed #zerowaste#closets #selfacceptance #wastefree #vanlife #iamwhatsunderneath #theselfacceptancerevolution #selflove #grwm We’d like to extend a special thank you to sponsor, Mad Hippie, for supporting our movement and helping to bring this episode to life.

This week’s installation of our new series, Getting Dressed: An Act of Self Love, brought to you by Mad Hippie, features WearYourHappy Fashion Designer and Sewing Tutor Karen Arthur. In her episode, Karen courageously shows us how a bout of depression, brought on by empty nest syndrome and menopause, gave birth to her most empowered, free self. At 57, Karen’s colorful hats, brogues and bespoke dresses and skirts, are a truly joyful reflection of her newfound understanding that only by confronting and embracing your whole self, shadows and all, can you lead a life that is “bonkers” good.

In this week’s 3rd installation of our new series, Getting Dressed: An Act of Self Love, brought to you by Mad Hippie, harpist, dancer, producer, singer and siren Elsz reveals the loss of self that they endured during an abusive relationship and how breaking free catalyzed a rebirth that has them reclaiming their body and resurrecting their spirit. Elsz’s transformation sparkles in the album they are releasing this year (which dives into their story of abuse and its cycles), their comfort in being alone, the relationships they’re now attracting that mirror the glory of their new-found self-worth, and in a self-expression through style that honors their Sri Lankan roots while taking back a once-shackling colonial clothing and making it their own. Elsz is raising money for their album on Kickstarter.

We are excited to bring you the second installation of our new series, Getting Dressed: An Act of Self Love, created with Schmidt’s in honor of Pride. Getting Dressed marries our hero series, The What’s Underneath Project, with our original Closet Series, as we take our subjects to a new edge of self-discovery. Beginning in their underwear and getting dressed into their fullest self-expression, through intimate interviews in the mirror about self-image and identity, we learn how each person's style has become an act of claiming and celebrating who they are. In our second episode, two months after top surgery, Ellen Ford is breathing a huge sigh of relief. The hero of their own story, Ellen takes us on a journey from having unrelenting tantrums as a six-year-old over having to wear frilly dresses and skimpy bikinis, to stepping into their most powerful energy today in suits and swimming trunks. Living outside of the gender binary, today Ellen is accepting the multifaceted layers of themselves and infectiously beaming with pride as a result.

Their own hero, Janaya’s all-black uniform can be packed in 7 minutes flat in case they are called to the front lines as an activist and organizer, where they have the responsibility of redirecting rage and rallying community around politically and socially charged moments. You will also find them wearing black in the boxing ring, where they have learned to punch without apology and where they have found refuge as a black, queer, non-binary person in an inclusive space. Janaya’s heroic qualities are also pronounced by their title of Futurist, which was given to them by members of the Black Lives Matter chapter in Toronto (which they co-created). Janaya speaks to communities around the world about the need to communicate and listen to one another despite the insidious Racism, Bigotry, Transphobia, and Islamophobia that runs rampant in our society. Without communication, they believe we will stay in the same cycles of separation and segregation. Despite a traumatic childhood, or perhaps because of it, living to bridge differences and create more understanding between people of all walks of life is perhaps what most makes Janaya the superhero that they are.

Jacob Tobia is the Marie Kondo of gender. #stylelikeu #iamwhatsunderneath #selfacceptance None of us are meant to be cookie cutter and Jacob Tobia wants to make sure you know it. The writer, producer, and author, has come to their glam meets cow-girl meets urban street style by way of growing up exploring their gender creativity in a binary world that wanted them conform. Giving themselves permission to cherry pick their gender-style preferences, like not shaving their body hair and wearing heels, has birthed the idea that at our essence we are each multifaceted selves and Jacob wants that brilliance to shine for everyone! “I'm the Marie Kondo of gender. I want to walk through everybody's metaphorical gender house and be like, ‘Hold all these different aspects of your identity to your chest, decide if they spark joy for you. If they spark joy, I'll teach you how to fold them and keep them, store them nicely, honor them and display them how you want. And if they don't spark joy, get rid of it.’” For Jacob’s entire life and style story, listen to their episode of our podcast, What’s Underneath, on iTunes (http://bit.ly/WUStyleA), Spotify (https://spoti.fi/2l894E9) or Stitcher (https://bit.ly/2HNthb1).

#stylelikeu #iamwhatsunderneath #selfacceptance Stepping into her queer colors. This week we look inside the Closet of this week’s podcast star, co-creator, writer and director of HBO’s High Maintenance, Katja Blichfeld. In her video, Katja busts binaries and revels in the freedom that claiming her queerness at 40 has brought her. No longer concerned with the male gaze, form fitting clothes, makeup or the dark colors that kept her in hiding, Katja is proving to herself and the world of television that being comfortable in your skin is what’s “pretty,” not conforming to fit into a made-up, patriarchal ideal of beauty. For Katja’s full life and style story, listen to her episode of our podcast, What’s Underneath, on iTunes (http://bit.ly/WUStyleA), Spotify (https://spoti.fi/2l894E9) or Stitcher (https://bit.ly/2HNthb1).

#iamwhatsunderneath #selfacceptance #stylelikeu Never too bold or too loud! In a world that is quick to judge and fear the other, Lebanese filmmaker Pam Nasr doesn’t want to overlook the many ways we can communicate and seek bonds without words, whether it be through the food we share or how we dress. When she walks down the street in bold colors or flaunting her strong legs, Pam’s style screams, “I love life” and “I want to connect.” Growing up in Dubai with a dad who gave her the space to push boundaries and wear mini-skirts in a country that is more conservative due to its tradition has given Pam the grit needed to take risks. “Growing up, it was always a question of what is too much skin or what is being too loud? What is attracting too much attention because that's something I constantly heard around me. But that's not something that I ever questioned because for me, too much skin wasn't problematic. It's about how you carry yourself in what you're wearing. I don’t allow room for someone to put me in a box. I put myself in the box that I want to be put in.” For Pam’s full life and style story, listen to her episode of our podcast, What’s Underneath, on iTunes http://bit.ly/WUStyleA, Spotify https://spoti.fi/2l894E9 or Stitcher (https://bit.ly/2HNthb1 If these stories are transformative on your own journey towards acceptance, please consider becoming a member of StyleLikeU on Patreon so that we can build a world where everyone feels comfortable and safe in their skin.

A cotton-candy pink that you almost want to eat is where they are at now; a look that has followed Bunny’s empowering recognition that they can feel like a man on the inside and not look like one on the outside.

Emma began changing their hair color when they first went public about being a rape survivor. We have admired Emma for a long time, ever since we became aware of The Mattress Performance, Emma’s brave response to Columbia University’s failure to take action after Emma and a handful of other students reported cases of assault by the same Columbia classmate. In 2014-2015, Emma walked around campus every day of the school year carrying a mattress in order to "make sure that rape didn't happen anymore." In this video, Emma shares how changing the color of their hair has been part of their journey from fitting in to standing out, and an important step in releasing their shame and reclaiming their body.

Falling and fighting for the love of her life - What's Underneath Podcast with Lorri Davis.

Watch more: https://bit.ly/2JUwTxf Last week we spoke with Damien Echols who was incarcerated on death row for more than 18 years for murders that he did not commit. It became crystal clear during that interview that the heroism of his story was as much to do with him as it was his wife, Lorri, the heroine of this truly incredible love story. Lorri was a successful architect working in New York when she saw the first Paradise Lost film (which documented the circus of Damien’s first trial) at the Museum of Modern Art in 1996. She was so overcome with emotion after seeing it that she sat down and wrote what would become the first of over three thousand letters that Lorri and Damien exchanged throughout his time in prison, which included 10 years in solitary confinement. Within two years Lorri had quit her job and moved to Arkansas where she married Damien and spent the next twelve years fighting for his release, as project manager of the extraordinary amount of efforts that were needed to give Damien the freedom that he so deserved. “The minute I saw him I just loved him. I just was so struck by seeing him in person. We had glass between us, I couldn't touch him. And it was so emotional and tough and painful because that's when you come in real contact with the suffering.” Follow StyleLikeU: Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/9wJ_b Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stylelikeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stylelikeu Twitter: https://twitter.com/StyleLikeU

It wasn’t until she went to the US (NYC, to be exact) for the first time, where “every second person was black,” that she grew into a new confidence in her skin.

Kornelius Werhahn-Mees forgoes both, transacting in trust and love instead. Status in the form of a Goldman Sachs business card was not the life for heavily tatted Kornelius, who had enough of the banking world after just a year in finance. From the plethora of pornographic images being passed around to the worship of luxury cars and expensive champagne, the dreams of his coworkers were not his. Instead, he opened a shop in Berlin called Soul Objects, where banks and their paraphernalia (i.e. credit cards) are not accepted and his clients can leave with an item and pay him later. In the 4 years he has been open, no one has reneged on their promise. Similarly, his marriage is bound by a deep love and desire to commit, not by flashy rings, lavish ceremonies, and the bureaucracy society would have you believe is a necessity. He believes that “you start with 100% trust. It's a matter of respect, it's a matter of saying hey, you are trustworthy. It's a good feeling. Our world works exactly the opposite.” Watch Kornelius’ full episode and melt a little over his perspective on fatherhood, marriage and camouflage clothing. ________ FOLLOW STYLELIKEU: Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/9wJ_b Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stylelikeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stylelikeu Shot in Berlin and Paris Founded by mother-daughter duo, Elisa Goodkind and Lily Mandelbaum, StyleLikeU is a movement for acceptance rooted in radically honest docu-style videos that give voice to role models of all races, ages, genders, and body types who stand proudly outside of norms and are comfortable in their own skin.

As fundamental to Agathe as her tomboy layers is brutal honesty around her struggles. From the destabilizing fear of abandonment to dressing to avoid the invasion of the male gaze, Agathe’s journey from darkness to truth has grounded her in healthy communication with her partner, who committed to sobriety when she found it in herself to give him an ultimatum. Agathe may know pain, but her refusal to be ashamed of it has given way to a fuller self with no tolerance for being a model and wearing someone else’s style, or for love that is selfish. ________ FOLLOW STYLELIKEU: Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/9wJ_b Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stylelikeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stylelikeu Shot in Berlin and Paris Founded by mother-daughter duo, Elisa Goodkind and Lily Mandelbaum, StyleLikeU is a movement for acceptance rooted in radically honest docu-style videos that give voice to role models of all races, ages, genders, and body types who stand proudly outside of norms and are comfortable in their own skin.

After being mesmerized by the circus as a gay kid in a conservative family and rural town, he found that life can be magic if you want it to by making a career out of being the alter-ego of his dreams, in Paris. “A clown is a character that you can have all of your life.

Instead of ‘numbing’ our pain, acknowledge it. Fannie herself is unstoppable in her own healing process with her no holds barred honesty about the pain she has endured being an afro-diasporic woman in the face of the white colonial gaze. Her acute awareness has given her the rare wisdom to understand that she feels the most beautiful, not because of how toned she is in a selfie, her job or who she is sitting next to, but because of the intrinsic value of being herself. This and more truths that need exposing for the injustices that they are: scruffy-chic style and the time and vehicles for healing are privileges of the white, skinny and wealthy in Fannie’s full episode. ______ FOLLOW STYLELIKEU: Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/9wJ_b Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stylelikeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stylelikeu Shot in Berlin and Paris Founded by mother-daughter duo, Elisa Goodkind and Lily Mandelbaum, StyleLikeU is a movement for acceptance rooted in radically honest docu-style videos that give voice to role models of all races, ages, genders, and body types who stand proudly outside of norms and are comfortable in their own skin.

Shot in Paris and Berlin. First, we have Lauren Bastide. Blonde and stereotypically pretty, Lauren was constantly told she should be a model growing up: “society’s ultimate power position for a woman.” Instead, she became a journalist and landed her dream job at Elle magazine. Over the decade she spent there, Lauren witnessed the industry she once idolized morph beyond recognition: advertising’s perverse influence over journalism was staggering. The final straw was when a furry Fendi keychain advertorial took editorial precedence over her feature on a case of police brutality. “At some point you have to listen to your guts, I guess, and my guts told me to get out of there,” said Lauren. The vintage-layered mother of two walked out and never looked back. This, and lots more radical realness, like dispelling the myth that pregnancy and motherhood is always a bohemian dream, in Lauren’s episode. Today you can find Lauren doing it her way on “La Poudre,” an unfiltered, empowering podcast for women. https://bit.ly/2m2n4k4 --- FOLLOW STYLELIKEU: Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/9wJ_b Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stylelikeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stylelikeu Shot in Berlin and Paris Founded by mother-daughter duo, Elisa Goodkind and Lily Mandelbaum, StyleLikeU is a movement for acceptance rooted in radically honest docu-style videos that give voice to role models of all races, ages, genders, and body types who stand proudly outside of norms and are comfortable in their own skin.

Gaby Dunn Says Goodbye To Empty Markers Of Achievement And Embraces Life's Weaving Journey | Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2pOUenx Buy Our Latest Book: https://goo.gl/71nAnU For YouTuber Gaby Dunn, the pressure to be successful at a young age had her pushing herself to work around the clock. Growing up with an alcoholic parent and shouldering responsibility for her younger sister, accomplishments became a cry for attention. “I had my first article in The New York Times Magazine when I was twenty-three, and I was obsessed with that. I’d just walk around and be like, ‘I’m only twenty-three and I wrote for the Times.’ I didn’t even remember what it was about,” she admits. No longer chasing empty markers of achievement, Gaby is embracing the winding journey of her life, including in her partnership with bestie Just Between Us co-star Allison Raskin, an open relationship with her boyfriend and taking the time to slow down and eat lunch despite her robust and demanding career.

I still love myself,’ that is so empowering, and that itself is activism.” In her episode of The What’s Underneath Project, Crystal Valentine boldly unravels her journey from being an insecure teen striving to conform to the flowy hair, skinny jeans beauty norms of high school, to becoming an irrepressible spoken word poet and a force for truth that can’t be silenced.

Growing up, Grace agonized over fitting into the box of 'perfect femme lesbian.' Surrounded by traditionally successful family members, Grace struggled with feelings of shame and felt they needed to compensate for their sexuality by being the ‘perfect girl’ in every other way. When their friendship with trans activist Reina Gossett opened them up to infinite possibilities of gender identity, Grace began to question why we associate body parts with a way of being in the world, and felt liberated to pursue a journey that defies simplistic categorization. "I don’t know if I want to be a man, if I want to take hormones, get top surgery, if I’m a woman. When am I going to fucking figure it out? Maybe just accepting that I don't have a name for myself and accepting that uncertainty is a more accurate reflection and a more freeing reflection of who I want to be, than trying to just figure out which box is best. [...] I think self acceptance and self love is a process that might not ever come to an end.” Filmed in 2016 and previously hosted exclusively on Fullscreen’s subscription platform, this fall we are thrilled to re-release eight episodes of The What’s Underneath Project on our YouTube channel, free and accessible to all. -- Follow StyleLikeU: Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/9wJ_b Instagram: https://instagram.com/stylelikeu/ Facebook: https://facebook.com/stylelikeu Twitter: https://twitter.com/StyleLikeU Tumblr: http://stylelikeu.tumblr.com/ Watch More StyleLikeU: Popular Videos: https://youtube.com/watch?v=e1E_W5Vf5...

No, no, no, American Girl catalogues — sweet, pretty girls. I wanted to be fucking Minnie Mouse. I wanted to be adorable.” She turned to bulimia as a way to make herself smaller and empty herself of the bad feelings, a coping mechanism she struggled with for a decade until she hit rock bottom and found sharing her story as a road to her recovery. Creating autobiographical videos about everything from bulimia to sexual assault, Jessie tackles the stories that terrify her most with an honesty you can’t help but see your most vulnerable and powerful self in.

Life doesn't end at 50: Felicia and Edmundo's Unlikely Love Story Spans a Century Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2pOUenx | IG: https://instagram.com/stylelikeu/ | Buy Our Latest Book: https://www.amazon.com/True-Style-Whats-Underneath-Self-Acceptance/dp/0789332868 Fleeing the Nazi regime in Europe with her family in a treacherous escape to Cuba, Felicia met Edmundo at a dance in Havana at age sixteen, where they fell in love. He stayed in Cuba to fight in the revolution and become a legendary writer, and she left Cuba for New York and started a family with another man. But everything came full circle decades later when Felicia attended a film screening based on Edmundo’s book in New York. As she reveals, “There was a scene in the film, a flashback about us. Suddenly I saw myself the way I had been when I was young up on the screen. It brought everything back for me.” Forty-five years after their first meeting, they reunited and turned their intense attraction into a lifelong commitment. In a profit-driven culture that encourages fixation on youth and devalues the beauty of life’s journey, Felicia and Edmundo, now in their late 80’s, reveal what real cool is - the messy, no bullshit, enchanting truth of love and aging. As Felicia explains, “If I lived my life over again, I don’t think I would live it all that differently. I’ve learned a few things, but I’m not sure I would even apply what I’ve learned. I think I’d make the same mistakes all over again. In a way, I feel as if the whole world is inside of me by now.” -- Follow StyleLikeU: Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/9wJ_b Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stylelikeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stylelikeu Twitter: https://twitter.com/StyleLikeU Tumblr: http://stylelikeu.tumblr.com/ Watch More StyleLikeU: Popular Videos: https://youtube.com/watch?v=e1E_W5Vf5...

Lauren Wasser: How One Model Lost Her Leg to Toxic Shock Syndrome and Found her Life’s Purpose Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2pOUenx | IG: https://instagram.com/stylelikeu/ Lost in a superficial world of ‘cool girls,’ model Lauren Wasser abruptly went from getting into every club to fighting for her life due to Toxic Shock Syndrome. Her painful, intensive struggle to cope with her amputated leg left her feeling robbed of her freedom and independence. But Lauren says, “As much as I wanted to kill myself and end the misery, knowing that my little brother would come home and be the one to find me — I didn’t want him living with that. I realized that I had a purpose.” With a herculean strength that will make you feel as if you can surmount anything, she left behind the mindset that superficial looks equal value and became unafraid to pursue a life rich in a purpose outside of herself. The take-no-shit model is championing the fight to teach women about the risks of TSS. “I wake up and I wish I could go outside and fucking run a marathon. I can’t think about what I had. I’m moving forward. I don’t think I would trade my experiences. My heart wouldn’t be full and I wouldn’t feel like I’m doing good.” Filmed in 2016 and previously hosted exclusively on @Fullscreen’s subscription platform, this fall we are thrilled to re-release eight episodes of The What’s Underneath Project on our YouTube channel, free and accessible to all. -- Follow StyleLikeU: Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/9wJ_b Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stylelikeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stylelikeu Twitter: https://twitter.com/StyleLikeU Tumblr: http://stylelikeu.tumblr.com/ Watch More StyleLikeU: Popular Videos: https://youtube.com/watch?v=e1E_W5Vf5jU&list=PL_jxFaykzU8CNN6LlyNobxhhRntyQ7Vne The What's Underneath Project: https://youtube.com/watch?v=pOKp5BN05yQ&list=PL_jxFaykzU8CSjCdSJamAv6Yh_S48prrm The What's Underneath Open Call: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vTvG79W9TBw&list=PL_jxFaykzU8CT8n4yCGKwC1Ud4-UG-6hw Dispelling Beauty Myths | StyleLikeU X Allure: https://youtube.com/watch?v=O5gtSoB463g&list=PL_jxFaykzU8CXkSL1o7pNpiA0n4d_yreq Business Inquiries: info@stylelikeu.com ----------- StyleLikeU is led by mother-daughter duo Elisa Goodkind and Lily Mandelbaum, who are on a mission to inspire acceptance by revealing what’s underneath personal style.

Since 2014, over 100 individuals have stripped down to open up in our series, The What's Underneath Project. Here, we have brought together the voices of those who have shared personal experiences with anti-black racism and white privilege in America. We believe that justice cannot be served without a ceaseless commitment to radically honest reflection and dialogue, and we humbly give thanks to our subjects who have bravely given of themselves by sharing their stories and perspectives with us.

The first to share their truth is 25-year-old Caitlin Stasey, an Australian actress in Hollywood who has harnessed her anger against the systematic sexism of the film and television industries into a force of uncensored activism. Thank you to Daniela London, of Choose Love, for providing us with space to shoot all of our Los Angeles episodes and to Olie Biologique, a natural skincare line, for making it possible for us to share Caitlin's story.

First up is Self Evident Truths’ founder iO Tillett Wright. At the age of 6, iO declared himself a boy in order to play soccer, and his journey as a gender revolutionary is honest, hilarious, brave, and absolutely inspiring. From inexplicably awkward sleepovers as an adolescent to boarding-school romance as a teen, the ease with which iO embraces his transgenderism -- “that physical in-between place” -- has made his compassion limitless and given him a brilliant understanding that each person has their unique process of self-discovery.
