Aditi Shrestha's Story
This body-positive influencer is opening up more conversations around body shaming and mental health
Every individual is unique but, on social media, that uniqueness goes for a toss since everyone is busy following trends. But not Aditi Shrestha; she has been refreshingly straightforward and candid about her weight and family issues.
As her YouTube channel name 'Thatquirkymiss' suggests, she takes a quirky approach to her content that differentiates it. Her authentic mannerisms have made her more approachable because she gives off the aura that she is on social media to have a conversation with her audience and not to be a star. She has also delved into the world of mental health by encouraging more people to talk about depression and anxiety, what they really mean, and why they shouldn't be topics that need be spoken about in hushed tones. This has helped many people to come out and talk about autism therapy in her comments, which is a practice that she encourages because she believes that the more people talk about it, the easier it will be for people who need it to accept therapy. She also advises women on a regular basis to ignore social media trolls who are out there to body shame, and encourages them to just believe in themselves instead.
