Posted by As she gears up to star in her own Amazon Prime reality TV series, Lizzo sat down with People on Wednesday (March 2) to discuss her status as a “body icon,” and how her reign of body positivity ultimately led her to this moment.
“I think I have a really hot body! I’m a body icon, and I’m embracing that more and more every day,” The Grammy winner told the outlet. “It may not be one person’s ideal body type just like, say, Kim Kardashian might not be someone’s ideal, but she’s a body icon and has created a modern-day beauty standard. And what I’m doing is stepping into my confidence and my power to create my own beauty standard. And one day that will just be the standard.”
