As an eating disorder survivor, Colby College student, Aleah Starr developed PROJECTION to allow people to tell their stories anonymously and to push back the media and cultural messages projected onto girls' (and guys') bodies.

At SPARK Summit's PROJECTION "action spot" girls and their allies responded to the prompt: "If you could talk back to the media, what would you say?" Click on the photo below to see the full album or watch this video of PROJECTION taken at SPARK and other sites. Each photo tells a unique story, more powerful because it combines an anonymous author's statement with a model willing to stand up and speak for her or him.
