ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Summersalt, the female-empowered and size inclusive swimwear and apparel brand, will launch their annual body positivity-centered campaign, Every Body is a Summersalt Body. The direct-to-consumer brand continues to challenge the antiquated view of swimwear and who should be wearing it, and shines a light on the true beauty of women everywhere by showcasing an inspirational and diverse group of women in their latest campaign. Twenty-seven powerhouses ranging from 18 to 63 years old, including Actress and Producer Jenna Ushkowitz, co-founder of thirteen lune, Nyakio Grieco, award-winning writer and activist Eli Erlick, actress and Special Olympics ambassador Lily D. Moore, board-certified dermatologist and founder of RVL Skincare Dr. Rita V. Linkner, founder of The Korean Vegan and lawyer, Joanna Molinaro, and more, are championing Summersalt’s mission to celebrate our bodies, our beauty, and our power.
Together with the groundbreaking campaign, Summersalt launched Love Letters to Your Body, a series of personal words and stories from the women featured that will leave people everywhere feeling inspired and empowered to not only love their body, but to own their journey to self-love and acceptance.
“This campaign embodies Summersalt’s mission in its entirety, and through this amazing group of accomplished women, we are striving to reach as many women as possible to inspire them to feel confident, proud, and accepting of their bodies,” said Summersalt CEO and Co-Founder Lori Coulter. “We are thrilled to champion strong women innovators leading the way in their respective careers.”
“This year, we took our summer campaign and its mission of empowerment and self-love a step further and asked each woman to write a love letter to her body,” said Chief Brand and Digital Officer and Co-Founder Reshma Chattaram Chamberlin. “In these deeply personal messages, the women shared words and stories of hope, resilience, disappointment, love and loss. While it brought to light the complicated relationship we can all have with our outward appearance, the underlying message was a powerful one of unwavering acceptance and joy. We hope this translates through our campaign, and shines light on the difficult yet beautiful thing that is body positivity.”
The women in the campaign represent a diverse group of activists, entrepreneurs, and change-makers, who are doing incredible things in the world today. They consistently challenge the status quo, while breaking records, innovating their respective spaces, and ultimately staying true to their authentic selves. The campaign is a call for inclusivity, because Every Body is a Summersalt Body.
