about Bianca
Female
I am on a global journey competing and training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and Bikini Fitness Bodybuilding where I aim to tell a story about doing what you want to do, in the way you want to do it. However, it’s not about medals or ‘the body beautiful’ it is about using sport and competition to learn life lessons and find fun in challenge. It’s about being happy, healthy and fit.The ultimate goal is to understand how this journey can lead to feeling comfortable in one’s own skin and being able to share this understanding within a society that is constantly providing images that tell us we are not good enough.
I know these images pervade our everyday lives, but I also know that it is my choice to ignore them and to begin to see myself in the mirror from the inside out. As I move through this journey I hope to learn how to empower and support others to understand that they too can make this choice.
Whilst the ‘actions’ in this journey are, on the surface, physical in nature, to authentically feel comfortable in one’s own skin, the physical can only be one of four things I am actually taking ‘action’ in. If this journey does not prioritise mental, emotional and spiritual wellness; physical health will never be enough to make, and keep, me happy.
