MyBodyGallery.com Continues to Thrive After 10 Years
Ohio Pen/10030821

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - OhioPen -- In 2009, Odessa Cozzolino had a vision—what if women could band together to produce a crowd-sourced database of images of female bodies unmanipulated by media forces? She wondered: would it be possible to create a safe, online space where women could browse pictures that their peers took of themselves to gain an empowering assessment of the wide variety of bodies out there in the world?

Taking a leap of faith, she came up with the name "My Body Gallery". After securing the domain MyBodyGallery.com, with start-up spirit she hired "a guy in his garage" to build the initial website. Going live in February of 2010, the website took off wildly. It drew international media attention from mainstream to niche outlets alike, including Good Morning America, Jezebel.com, and the Huffington Post. Ever the savvy businesswoman, Cozzolino realized the site's traffic could support enough advertising revenue to transform what began as a labor of love into a sustainable small business.
