Lets Talk: BIG July 2013 | Page 7

BIG: What is your profession?

Isiah Washington: I'm a Customer Care Representative for a Professional Transit company and a part-time model for Darkgoddess Designs.

BIG: Are you a BIG Husky Man? If not, what would you consider your build?

Isiah Washington: I'm a big guy and always have been. As a kid, I was called names and picked on, even by family members. Being a grown man, I know it was their own insecurities that made them do that, and I have forgiven them and moved on to find my own happiness in life.

BIG: How do you support BIG Beautiful Women?

Isiah Washington: I love big beautiful women! I try to lend support and help give confidence to ladies that don't feel as beautiful as they are, whether inside or out. I also try to show other BHM that they CAN find love and be happy, even if they are big! I have!

BIG: Are you in a relationship with a BIG Beautiful Woman?

Isiah Washington: I'm in a relationship with Morgana Darkgoddess! We live together and love and respect each other daily. She broke me out of my shell, and tells me that I'm the rock that keeps her grounded.

BIG: What are some encouraging words you would like to men and women in the BIG community?

Isiah Washington: Be who you are and love yourself first. Know that there are others out there that feel the way you do, you are not alone in this world. Find the people that love you for being YOU and try to see the person they see in you. You can be the person you want to become if you stop holding yourself back. []
