Chicana Heavyweights and their Allies, a Panza Pictorial of Panza Positive Women

We have launched many critiques at mainstream media outlets for their lack of Panza Positivity. This month we are celebrating Love your Body Month by asking four women to create their own Panza Positive Pictorial by taking photographs of themselves that embrace their panzas cuz (as we say in Panza Girl Manifesto), you gots to love the panza, you gots to love yourself!

A bad ass guitarron playing mariachi, Vaneza Calderon has some panza positive consejos to share with you!
