Juhi

19-year-old Juhi has already had enough stress from COVID as someone graduating from secondary school this year; she didn't need the additional challenge of being body shamed. She admits how comments from others and cultural expectations of external beauty has affected her mental health, but also, shares her fight back to stay healthy and push forward positively to strive for a healthy balance.
