True and I for the Gap Body Campaign!

This campaign was exceptional for me in more ways than one. I have been a curve model for fifteen years at this point, and you always hope to book, “big campaigns.” But, for most of the curve models who have been in the industry ten+ years, they know that it is only in the recent years that companies like Gap would use women like me as a model. The best part of the whole experience was that I wasn’t selected because I am a “model.” I was selected for the work I have done with Healthy is the new Skinny and creating Natural Model Management.

How do we battle the crazy photoshopped images we see on social media everyday? We post our real bodies. It is that simple.

In the “Insta” world of models, influencers, and free stuff, what are any of us doing to give back? This was a question I had to ask myself and be ready for the honest answer; not enough.

The Benefits of Being Fiercely Independent

I have always been an independent person. When I was 17 years old, I moved to New York City alone without knowing a single person or having any family nearby.

I was sitting in an Uber, stuck in traffic, and looked out my window to realize we were right in front of my old dorm building. I was able to see in the window of the room I stayed in and had one of those amazing life moments when you feel so damn proud of the person you have become. Read more about what I have learned about being #fiercelyindependent.
