Tricky is the place to discuss difficult questions away from the bear pit of social media.

Content creators Aisha Murray & Harleen Nottay join trainee paralegal Amanda Calley and yoga instructor Finlay Wilson to discuss our obsession with body image and how to resist the pressures of the latest trends.

They’ve a broad range of experience when it comes to body image; from working in the fitness industry and modelling, to growing up black in rural Scotland or converting to Islam and adopting traditional dress. They’ve all felt pressure of one sort or another but do their best to recognise it as the commodification of beauty - even when it come in the guise of body positivity.
