“I can be sexy and feel sexy when I'm in full glam hair and makeup for a shoot. I can also feel really sexy when I'm in sweats and no makeup with my daughter.”
“I do know that when I started, there weren't very many Latina plus-size models. For a long time, with my look and my body type, I felt like there wasn't a place for me.”
“I'm a Miami girl so I really love to be sassy and get dressed up.”
“I try to eat healthy and stay active.”
“I don't care what you call me. I'm glad to even have a place in this fashion industry. Plus-size, straight-size, in-betweenie - I don't care regardless.”
“I want as many women as possible to see that they are capable. We can do anything.”
“My body is not meant to small. I think even when I was at my fittest at 13 and 14 years old when I was dancing all the time and I was really active and constantly doing things, I was no smaller than an 8 and I was working my butt off for that.”
“I consider taking care of my skin one of my priorities. It's also related to do what I do for modeling, so I have to make sure I take care of my skin to make sure I don't have breakouts.”
“I feel sexy all the time. I feel like sexiness is in my blood.”
“Representation is so important for all of us, especially millennials and the next generation.”
“Love is unconditional. Also, love for me is different because I find that - I'm a mom and so for me love for my daughter is gonna always be number one.”
“Most of my shoes are booties.”
“When you have a group of women who are happy and support each other, then you have a group of women who can take over the world.”
“I'm not 6-feet tall and I'm not a size 2, so I never thought there would be an industry for me to fit into.”
“I once saw JLo's 'Behind the Music' special, and she said she may not get every role she auditions for but her goal is to make every single person a fan. That stuck with me, and I want to do that every time I see a client.”
“I'm one of those people that knows everything is possible if I just work really hard.”
“I'm constantly shopping; I'm not going to lie.”
“I'm from Miami, and when I was 18, I packed a suitcase and left for L.A. permanently to try and make it as an actor.”
“When I started modeling, there were very few places people could turn to for self-love and a positive community.”
“I'm just a woman. I'm a curvy woman, and hopefully some day they do end up cutting out the word 'plus-size.'”
