My main goal in modeling is to use my platform to help women find inner peace with their bodies. I haven’ t always been confident, but modeling for the past 6 years has helped me find my own inner peace with myself. When you have women who watch you evolve as a model in the industry, you have to check yourself sometimes. I realize people out there really believe in my message, so being hard on myself isn’ t an option. I have my days, but who doesn’ t? I know that beauty is far more than skin deep and a pant size. It took me years to feel present fully. I always had a quarrel with the way I looked. I use to even compare myself to photos from what I looked like the previous year before and would pick at myself for hours. It’ s totally unhealthy but my biggest breakthrough was a message from a young girl who told me how inspiring I was to her. She explained that I was the reason she feels confident, because of the things I would say on social media and I presented myself with my blog and campaigns. My own issues didn’ t matter. Being a signed model meant something more to me then. It felt really good to know that all of the things I hated about myself, meant the world to someone. Beauty meant something different to me after that. I embraced my flaws more openly and I can’ t thank that little girl enough. I hope she is still a fan, because I am of her.
