Today, we talk to a young fashion creator about learning to love yourself -- something society doesn’t always make easy, to say the least. While still in high school, Sriram Y started posting self-portraits on Instagram, and came to see himself very differently, as a result. His message of self-love and self-acceptance has resonated with tens of thousands of followers, and even international brands have taken note.
