2200 Characters or Less

2200 Characters or Less encourages the reader to find their own, authentic way forward in the face of cultural norms and society’s expectations. In keeping with this message, body image educator and artist, Teri Hofford uses photography, handwritten notes, poems and musings to tackle 22 different themes and in this way, the book can be opened and read at any page, defying conventions and form. Teri explores the constraints of Instagram’s 2200 character limit as a means to share her personal stories, experiences and thoughts to expose the unachievable expectations put upon us by society, while fusing her writing with empathy, compassion and a little tough love, allowing the reader to feel seen and understood.
