In the new episode of the Hanna Tikander podcast, artist Jannika B talks about her body shame and the social media comments she receives.
The artist says that he had a conversation with his Instagram follower about shame and the body. Jannika B recently published The body remembers -song, whose music video made a woman write to Jannika on social media.
Jannika B says that dance is an important way of self-expression for her. In the song’s music video, Jannika B dances and expresses herself.
– There was even a little salsa, samba, rumba-like movement in it. Ballet hands, Jannika B describes the dance styles of the music video.
The artist received a comment from a woman that the dance in question would not be appropriate.
– In his opinion, this was on the border of good taste, that it would be a pornographic movement. I asked her what she thinks about dance and dance genres and if she could think about why seeing dance causes such a strong reaction in her, Jannika B opens to Hanna Tikander.
In the end, it was revealed that the commenter himself does not like his own body.
– When he opened things up, it became clear very quickly that he himself has such strong body shame.
Jannika B says that she herself experienced great shame about her own body. That’s why he understands well why a woman reacts in that way.
– In my dance background, I have been told that my body is the wrong type and the wrong type. I know how it feels, he sums up.
Jannika B says, among other things, that she covered her thighs and her chest because she is ashamed of them.
– I haven’t wanted to wear a deep cleavage, because I don’t have terribly big tits like a woman should have, she opens.
Jannika B was happy that she could have a conversation with the woman. He hopes that the woman learned something from the conversation.
– I told him that sometimes I want to go to these just because I’ve always hoped that I could somehow leave a better world for my children. Sometimes, if you get even one person who understands something, he can pass the world of thought on to others and maybe to his own children, Jannika B concludes.
