When we share our experiences, we shine a light on the failing systems that contribute to obesity—and together, we can drive change.

Obesity is a complex and personal experience, influenced by the systems around us—health, food, government, and more. By sharing your story, you help shift the conversation from individuals to the broader systems that need transformation.

We want to celebrate the inspiring individuals, groups, and organisations leading the call for systemic change. Read their stories below and find inspiration in their efforts to build a healthier future for all.
