Khalisa Cantara is a student at LSPR (London School of Public Relations) 2021 who is able to inspire many teenagers to be brave and not easily feel insecure. With the hashtag and slogan #BraveToBeBare on her Instagram page @khalisacr, she inspires teenagers to show their faces without any makeup. In addition, Khalisa also inspires a lot about body parts that often make teenagers feel insecure. 

"You're cute, acnes, pores, blackheads, eyebags or whatever you are insecure about is completely normal. Feeling insecure itself is normal. Accept, embrace, and improve. The only body that will stay with you forever is your very own. Love it, appreciate it, thank it, own it. Be #BraveToBeBare," Khalisa wrote on her Instagram Highlight.

Those words are what inspire teenagers to not easily feel insecure. She also often reminds them to be brave in sharing happiness without listening to what others say, and she often writes that, "Body hair is normal." That is Khalisa's way of reminding that whatever happens to our bodies is normal as long as you are happy.

Many people got to know Khalisa because she actively made a Question Box on her Instagram Story. The Question Box talked about Body Positivity and Brave to be Bare, and this was her first writing that successfully inspired many millennials to not feel insecure.

"We're all here, being bare, to show that beauty does NOT revolve around make up, straight hair, nor solely a thin body. Everyone can be comfortable in their own shapes and sizes. You can weigh a 2 or a 7 and still be a 10/10 quality. Girls, if you have curly hair, stop curling it, stop shaping yourself into a person they expect you to be start developing your OWN SHAPE in your own ways. You were your own seed, don't grow into another fruit's tree do whatever makes you feel confident but prioritize how you feel about yourself. F what society thinks, F insecurity." BE CONFIDENT look into the mirror and smile bcs baby you're beautiful.You are your own shape, you are your own colour it's that inner power that empowers you, it's never the cover, and more importantly, if you cant meet his expectations, leave him.Because you deserve to be loved for you, not for the person he imagines you to be :) goes vice versa ! #bare now go wipe off your make up.wash your hair take a picture of yourself and admire just how beautiful your true self is.Post it, share it, be proud of you"

That was Khalisa's first post on her Instagram page on August 12, 2018 when Khalisa's followers were still only a few thousand and now it has reached 44.7k followers.
