If you’d like to follow Alicia’s journey, you can find her on TikTok and Instagram @aliciamccarvell.

It will include a thought-provoking panel discussion (including Alicia!) that will tackle how 'bikini body' rhetoric affects us, how to face this potentially damaging communication, and how to promote body confidence now and in the future.
