Whitney Way Thore aims to prove that size is irrelevant when it comes to dancing.
Her series of YouTube videos have gone viral, making her an internet sensation.
‘I had the idea for No Body Shame Campaign after I posted photos of myself from a boudoir shoots,’ Thore told DailyVenusDiva. ‘While many responses were positive, there was a whoooole lotta fat-shaming going on! I started blogging really just for therapy.’
The videos were in part the idea of her co-worker at 1075 KZL show Jared and Katie in the Morning, Jared Pike.
Her campaign has proved successful, but things weren’t always that easy as North Carolina native Whitney failed her first semester of dance class.
‘By the time I had graduated college, been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, moved to Korea, and gained 200 pounds, I was finally able to dance socially, at a club or party, but never dreamed I would take a class or perform publicly ever again,’ Whitney told The Huffington Post.
However, she has manged to overcome her demons and the videos posted to her ‘No Body Shame’ campaign website show her amazing dance skills.
