On her Instagram account @recipesforselflove, Alison Rachel offers up empowering self-care tips paired with illustrations to uplift and inspire women of all identities. An essential part of her mission is to include intersectional illustrations that represent a diverse group of women. Some of our fave mantras include: “Someone else’s beauty is not the absence of your own”, “Remember to take time off”, “Don’t compliment a woman’s weight loss”, “You don’t always have to be happy” and “Normalise menstruation”.
