Taryn Brumfitt

Global Advocate, Empowering Millions with Body Positivity Movement

Taryn Brumfitt was named the 2023 Australian of the Year for her advocacy and thought leadership for body image positivity, touching the lives of over 200 million people worldwide. Her journey began with a personal struggle against societal beauty norms, culminating in a bold decision to share her story through viral social media posts over a decade ago. These candid revelations sparked a global movement against body shaming and propelled Taryn to the forefront of the body positivity movement.

As the founder of the Body Image Movement, Taryn has leveraged her platform to direct and produce impactful documentaries. Her social impact documentary that explores the serious issue of body loathing, ‘Embrace’, became a sensation, topping the German box office and challenging Hollywood blockbusters like ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘King Arthur’. This success led to her second documentary, ‘Embrace Kids’, released in 2022, addressing the pervasive issue of body hate among young people. Currently, she is preparing her third instalment, ‘Embrace Men’, completing a trilogy aimed at reshaping societal attitudes towards body image.

Taryn’s influence extends far beyond filmmaking. She is a highly sought-after keynote speaker, voted as General Electric’s highest rated speaker, and celebrated for her compelling presentations that blend personal narrative with a call to action for societal change. Her international speaking engagements range from prestigious venues like Google HQ in Silicon Valley and Ted X talks, to Sky News in Scotland, Bras N Things in Singapore, and local school visits. Taryn’s work has been recognised by esteemed organisations including United Nations Women, Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, the Geena David Institute, and Ashton Kutcher who famously praised her activism as “good for the world”, affirming her impact on cultural discourse.

Beyond her professional achievements, Taryn is also the author of three best-selling books that delve deeper into her advocacy and personal journey. Her commitment to empowering individuals to embrace their bodies and live authentically is evident in every facet of her work and personal life.

Taryn invites others to join in her rejecting of societal pressures and embracing personal power. Whether on stage delivering empowering messages, collaborating with global brands that share her values, or engaging with communities worldwide, she champions the belief that everyone possesses the inherent ability to create positive change. Her message is clear: by embracing our unique selves and supporting one another, we can foster a world where body positivity and self-acceptance thrive.
