  • Ruchi Page on a Body That’s Meant to Be
    2025/04/16
    Writer and digital creator Ruchi Page joins SBS Spice on the long, messy journey of making peace with your body. Growing up as a brown girl in a predominantly white town, Ruchi learned early on how body image is shaped not just by mirrors, but by the people we love, the cultures we come from, and the spaces we’re told we don’t belong in. In this conversation with Dilpreet Kaur Taggar, we talk about softness, shame, and the power of real storytelling — both online and in Butterfly Foundation’s new campaign The Changing Room, which Ruchi is part of.
