There is nothing remotely real estate about this post, so just move on to the next one if you feel ActiveRain is for real estate topics only. That being said, this is a really neat video that could give you some ideas to use in YOUR own video marketing.
You may assume this post is about breast cancer awareness, based on the title and knowing October is breast-cancer awareness month. Actually, it's not.
THIS VIDEO is about another situation affecting thousands millions of women who have struggled with body image dissatisfaction at some time in their lives... perhaps you, your mother, daughter, neighbor, or best friend.
Today marks the beginning of Fat Talk Free Week (October 13-17), a nationwide public awareness campaign designed to draw attention to the damaging impact of the "thin ideal" for women.
It also coincides with the official public debut of Reflections: Body Image Program - a revolutionary body image education and eating disorders prevention program co-developed by Carolyn Becker, Ph.D. FAED, of Trinity University, local sororities on her campus, and Delta Delta Delta Sorority's Center for Living, Learning and Leading (under the leadership of my daughter Susan Woda, the Center's Senior Director of Operations).
Seventeen Magazine, National Organization for Women (N.O.W.), the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) and the Academy for Eating Disorders (AED) have endorsed this program, and it's probably coming soon to a campus near you. While this program is targeted specifically to college women, I think a "Fat Talk Free Week" is something we all might try.
For more information, check out the Reflections website and, if you didn't already watch THIS VIDEO, check it out now. It's not clinical or lecturing, I promise. 'Just a catchy, creative and thought-provoking flash video that you will enjoy while learning something.

Georgiina - Thanks for re-blogging this and helping to spread the word. This public awareness campaign is in its infancy, so you are on the cutting edge by helping to spread the word. In a few years, when it is as well known as the breast cancer awareness month and wear red for heart health campaign, you'll be able to say "I helped get this off the ground!" and pat yourself on the back.
