“Gym became my therapy. Gym became the thing I looked forward to. And, not only was it helping me emotionally, but it was physically changing my body and making me feel better.”
“I feel like you'll be most successful in life if you just try to block the noise, sometimes the hate can be louder than the love.”
“When your eyebrows aren't fresh and get out of hand you can just use concealer to clean them up and it looks like your eyebrows just got done.”
“It's not just about fashion and confidence in what you look like. It's confidence in anything you do. It's knowing you're the best, knowing you're bound to be great, killing it in every aspect of life.”
“Everyone has different body shapes, heights. It's unfortunate because sometimes a curvy girl will say, 'I'm a model,' and people will look at her sideways. Then she'll have to say, 'I'm a plus-size model.' That's just society, you know?”
“When your whole world feels like it's crumbling down, everything you thought you knew, it's really to be rebuilt again but much stronger.”
“We should open the conversation of mental health and start discussing it in classrooms, and among each other. Especially in the black community - that's not something we talk about.”
“Hopefully, if we stop using the term plus-size we can just create a broader definition for what a model is.”
“I modeled when I was like 4 or 5, but that's not really by choice.”
“Modeling really helps me find my confidence and break out of my shell.”
“I guess I'm very distinctive. I didn't realize how distinctive my voice is, the cadence of it, the slight rasp to it, how I walk, my little laugh that I do all the time.”
“As a curvy woman, it's harder to find good, cute clothing that inspires you to actually want to work out.”
“Starting a business is tricky. There's a lot of trial and error, but create a plan, be strategic and write everything down.”
“There's not a lot of clothes out there for girls that are bigger, there's not a lot of trendy things out there, and I want to change the way people look at the plus size industry.”
“I was always super shy growing up, so I'm not too shy anymore now.”
“I'm the person in my skin. I'm the person in my own body. And a lot of people just need to love themselves and focus on them and they wouldn't be worried about what anyone else is doing.”
“I never was trying to steal someone's man.”
“I hated going to the mall, I hated shopping, I hated pool parties. It was just the little things that made me realize, like, maybe I am a little different than everyone.”
“When I first started working out and losing weight, I did get some people saying that 'oh you're not a body positive person anymore.' And I feel like I didn't really understand where they were coming from.”
“I always grew up the bigger girl.”
