Forgot to post before midnight, but here is the first selfie of 2016. I made a goal to take a selfie everyday this year because I want to promote positive body image and accept who I am. I am a disabled, heavyset author living in Southern California and hoping to make a name for myself as an author and YouTuber. The support you guys showed me last year has given me the confidence to go after my dreams and to accept myself completely. Join me in making 2016 a year of acceptance, love and a year we accomplish great things individually and as a community. Share your selfies with me by tagging me @authoranthonyavina and using the hashtag #AuthorAAvinaSelfieaDay2016 or just #authoranthonyavina #selfie #selfies #selfiechallenge #selfieaday #selfieaday2016 #positive #positivebodyimage #acceptance #goals #avinavlogs #selfienation

Don’t ever let anyone tell you whether or not you are beautiful, handsome or overall attractive. Like the beautiful and talented @meghantonjes I chose to embrace my body image today. Let’s show our support and remember, no matter what size, shape, race, gender or sexual orientation, we are all equal. Have a great holiday weekend guys! #bodyimage #positivebodyimage #nofilter #selfie #selfiestick #selfienation #equality (at Mojave Narrows Regional Park)
