In this viral speech on the Godly truth about bikinis, Jessica recounts the history of the bikini. She goes all the way back to its creation in 1946.
Over the years, some say that the bikini symbolizes power for a woman. But Jessica counters this argument citing research from several universities, such as Princeton.
"Bikinis really do inspire men to see women as objects — as something to be used, rather than as someone to connect with. So it seems that wearing a bikini does give a woman power: the power to shut down a man's ability to see her as a person, but rather as an object.”
And while many see modesty as an old-fashioned or outdated concept, Jessica is ready to turn modesty into stylish clothes and swimwear.
Jessica leaves us with a pondering question in the speech with millions of views across social media.
