BEING REFFERED TO AS A PLUS MODEL VS CURVY MODEL:
“ It doesn’ t really bother me when someone says I’ m a plus size model. I mean, why should it? Plenty of plus models that were pioneers in the industry before my time fought to be recognized as models in the first place, so how could I have an issue with that? I’ m not consumed by labels; they bring so much responsibility to nonsense. I think it’ s important to just respect the person and the craft, no matter what size. Call me curvy, plus, fat... doesn’ t make me any difference. I’ m a model at the end of the day and I love it.”
WHY DO YOU MODEL?
“ Like I tell all the young girls and women who ask me how to get into modeling; why? Why do you want to be a model? Separate the glitz and glam of being in front of a camera and what do you have left? I started modeling because I had been asked so many times to do it, but what’ s kept my craft consistent is the talent and skills I’ ve learned along the way. Fashion and writing are my first loves, so by infusing those two, with becoming a good model has allowed me to progress into a business woman. I blog for my own website, can style, can be an MUA on set, and I’ m even educated in fashion marketing from school, so I like helping beginning brands. I love to help people. I feel the desire to be there always for someone; like a big sister. So, I want modeling to provide a platform to be a positive face of major clothing brands to help uplift people. I want people to resonate me with clothing brands and think“ Now that’ s what we’ ve been waiting for”. I want to start foundations for women to become leaders themselves. We need more good in this world. Being in front a camera makes me feel beautiful, but off camera; building my brand makes me feel powerful.
THE BODY ISSUE ADVICE:
“ Your body is yours. That’ s it. No questions asked. By loving it, you will take care of it and by taking care of it, confidence will always be present. There is no specific way to be, even though media tells you otherwise. Own it. It will take time, but there is no better time than right now. If no one has told you yet today; you my love, are BEAUTIFUL.”
