Living in the world of bodies for over 20 years as a fitness expert, Christine has seen every type. Not one body is exactly the same and yet they are each uniquely gorgeous. If you swipe through social media, you are bound to see someone placing their judgments on the way someone else looks. Enter Iskra Lawrence, who is breaking down society's standards of beauty and advocating for all the beautiful bodies out there. That’s you! She’s championing the body acceptance movement, supporting women’s mental health when it comes to body image, and advocating for all the ladies out there to feel confident in their own skin. Iskra is the founder of Saltair and Self Funding. She's dedicated her career to empowering women.
