Taryn Brumfitt
Taryn Brumfitt is an Australian writer and film director from Adelaide best known for the 2016 film Embrace. After the birth of her third child, she considered cosmetic surgery but took up body building instead.
She founded the Body Image Movement in 2012. This describes itself as "on a quest to end the global body-hating epidemic" and "working to put an end to body loathing and spread the message of body loving". The movement aims to recruit a Body Image Movement Global Ambassador Program, of people who will spread its message internationally through social media and local contacts. the movement is crowdfunding for a documentary Embrace Kids aimed at children aged 8-12, which they hope to make available to schools around the world.
Brumfitt gave a talk at the TEDx event in Adelaide in 2016. In September 2018 she was named one of The Australian Financial Review's 100 Women of Influence in the Global category.
