Iskra Lawrence is a “body-positive model, ” and TeenVogue is super impressed with her latest activism video which captured her on a New York City subway train stripping to her bra and panties to ask commuters to stop ogling and objectifying women. This was a very important message to get out to teen girls as the magazine tweeted, “This makes such an amazing statement.”

And apparently, the message is this: “Women are tired of being judged by their bodies, so, let me show you my nearly naked body and tell you not to judge me.”

Lawrence is a very outspoken feminist who regularly tackles body shaming. Her latest stunt was part of a campaign that has a very long title: High Quality Human Beings and Me You Don’t See #UNMUTED. Before taking off her dress, she tells a VERY uninterested tube of riders:

“You don’t know me and I don’t know you, but I really want to connect with you today. I want to talk about the most important relationship we have in our lives, which is the one we have with ourselves. I want to make myself vulnerable today so you can see, truly, the journey I've come on with my own body and how I feel about myself today.”

She pulled off her dress and explained that she was revealing herself “to prove that we are in control of how we feel about ourselves.” 

Even standing in her bedroom attire a few inches from her helplessly captive audience, she barely managed to turn heads, and all was quiet save for the sounds of a child passenger (you gotta teach them early, right?).

"I grew up hating what I saw in the mirror because society told me I was not good enough," Lawrence’s lecture continued. "I thought there was something wrong because I didn't have a thigh gap. That is the media. That is society making a small standard of beauty when we are so much more than that.”

"This body is not just something to be objectified, to be grabbed, to be looked at,” said the person objectifying her body to grab attention and looks. “This is my vessel. This is my home.”

Sharing the video in an Instagram post, Lawrence championed minority voices, women, and the LGBTQ+ community to “share, listen & learn from each other [so] we can grow.” The model’s ultimate goal is to live in a non-judgmental world “full of love for one another.”

And in the minds of progressives, that starts with random and very public displays of nudity, because bravery and stuff.
