Body positive activist and body confidence coach Michelle Elman aims to liberate everyone from unrealistic aesthetic standards and broaden the definition of beauty through her Instagram accounts @scarrednotscared and @bodypositivememes. In Am I Ugly? One Woman's Journey to Body Positivity (£9), she tells her own story. The memoir recounts her childhood experiences of health problems and 15 complex surgeries that left her scarred, mentally and physically, and follows her journey to health and positivity.
