The Tommy Hilfiger x FutureLearn course series
Exploring Body Neutrality and Body Image with Jameela Jamil
Actress, model, writer, and activist, Jameela Jamil, kicks off the course series with an insightful course on body neutrality.
Using her extensive experience dealing with the media’s harmful body image stereotyping, you’ll explore why loving yourself isn’t made easy in our society today and how you can build the strength you need to fight back.
Exploring Sustainable Living and Loving with Mogli
Musician and sustainability activist, Mogli’s course is designed to help you understand how your personal decisions impact other people and our planet. You’ll discover tips for building a healthier more sustainable relationship with yourself and the world around you, as well as tools to make life choices that work for you.
Exploring Intersectionality and What Makes you Unique with Kiddy Smile
The third course in this series is led by DJ, dancer, and activist, Kiddy Smile.
Through a study of self-expression and the interaction of social, economic, political, religious and gender differences, you’ll explore different versions of you, and how intersectionality influences systems of discrimination or disadvantage.
The final two courses in this trailblazing course series focus on mentorship and community change, and advocacy and allyship in the queer community. You’ll learn with horse-riding healing community and mentorship collective, Compton Cowboys, and model, actress, and LGBTQIA+ activist Indya Moore respectively.
