Clara Dao, 27, who was born in Hanoi, Vietnam and later moved to Canada, and began running her social media channel in 2019. It focused on body confidence, self-improvement, fashion, and beauty.
The body positivity content for flat-chested women quickly catapulted her to fame, and she now has nearly 4.2 million subscribers on one social media platform.

In her videos, Dao speaks out against appearance-related anxiety and encourages flat-chested women to embrace their bodies and reject society’s rigid beauty standards.
She once said that she had been bullied as a child for having a flat chest, but as she grew older, she gradually understood that she deserved love regardless of her body type.
Her heartfelt story has resonated deeply with women facing body image struggles.

She has also become a prominent voice for body positivity and feminism, and has been featured in Vietnamese women’s magazines.
