Barbosa, 21, has earned 10 million followers thanks to her videos on body positivity, female empowerment and relationship advice. The show will feature life coaching, celebrity guests and a ‘makeunder’, followed by a ‘vulnerable photo shoot’ that aims to release individuals from the things they have used to ‘hide behind’.
Imperfect is produced by Makers from Toronto. The show’s producers are Katie Lafferty, Jeni B and Sam Hall. It is being produced with the cooperation of Bell and is scheduled for release in the fall of 2024.
“No one is perfect, and that’s what makes people special: we don’t all fit into one box,” Barbosa says. “I’m so excited to bring body positivity stories so we can all see how perfectly imperfect we really are.”
This is Barbosa’s second project in the TV world. At the age of 12, she started her career as one of the hosts on Family Channel We are smarta show where teens express their interests, create DIY activities and connect with people around the world.
“The content Spencer creates online is exactly what the world needs right now. Creating this show and making it a reality is absolute magic,” says Jeni B. “The beauty of it is… it’s for everyone. We all see ourselves in these stories and that makes it so special.”
Lafferty added. “I love how this series not only focuses on getting individuals to accept their perceived flaws, but to actually love and embrace them. Spencer’s body positivity message is inspiring and we couldn’t be happier to bring it to a whole new audience.”
