Alexa Moreno recently found herself the subject of a whole lot of fat-shaming on social media.

One has to wonder what they would have done if they had been trying to do it with a “mean spirit.”

Keep working, keep pushing, live so that these people call you attention seeking activists every day. You are making the world better.
