19-year-old daughter of late pop legend Michael Jackson, Paris, is making headlines.

According to her, people need not fuss about nudity as it personally makes her feel more connected with the earth. She believes nudity is also a way she can convey her feminist ideas.

In her words:

‘I’ll say it again for those questioning what I stand for and how I express myself. Nudity started as a movement for ‘going back to nature’, ‘expressing freedom’, ‘being healthier’ and was even called a philosophy.

”Being naked is part of what makes us human. For me it helps me feel more connected to Mama Gaia. I’m usually naked when I garden.

”It’s actually a beautiful thing and you don’t have to make it sexual the way many Hollywood stars (and the media) do.

”Not only is your body a temple and should be worshipped as so, but also part of feminism is being able to express yourself in your own way, whether it’s being conservative and wearing lots of clothes or showing yourself.”

Paris Jackson added: ”It is who I am and I refuse to shy away and keep my beliefs a secret. Every one [has] an opinion and every one has their beliefs.

”We don’t always agree with one another and that’s okay. But again, we are all human, and to appreciate the things that other people do that make us human helps us feel connected. How can that be a bad thing?”
