"This isn't a story of a fat girl. It is the story of how we allow outside relationships to interfere with our intimate relationships," said Tammy O’Donnell, chairperson and associate professor, Communication and Theatre Department. "The media certainly plays a part in our perception of beauty, but sometimes our closest friends and family can do the most damage."
