Harnaam Kaur

Harnaam Kaur is a body positivity warrior, motivational speaker, model, world record holder, and activist. Drawing up her battle scars and struggles as a bullied teenager, Kaur inspires people across the globe to embrace their beauty, whatever form it comes in.

Born and raised in England, Kaur has Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and spent a lot of her time during youth removing body hair to avoid taunts from her peers. Driven to self-harm, she decided at age 16 to instead embrace her body in all its glory.

The resulting self-love brought a positive change in her life, which she now shares with the world in the form of education, public speaking, modelling and media.

Kaur has spoken in the House of Parliament, taken centre stage with her own TEDx talk, been featured in publications the world over, filmed an international advertisement for a music-streaming service, strutted catwalks, and spoken to teenagers and adults alike about diversity and self-acceptance.

Recently, Kaur created a report on social media and body image for the British Council Youth Select Committee. She spoke at the Stylist 2017 and 2018 events each with an audience of over 2000 people, and successfully ran a body positive event at LUSH HQ that live-streamed to over 12,000 viewers on the first night. She has featured in Channel 5’s House of Extraordinary People. She has also featured in Cosmopolitan, Glamour, teen vogue, Grazia, Porter Magazine, and many more.
