It's really hard not to fall into that trap of insecurity when you're a model. Beforehand, I never looked at myself in a huge monitor with 30 people around it every day.

We have to tokenize in order to normalize.

We have to tokenize in order to normalize.

I am trying to be the girl I didn't have. That's important to me. I have to be conscious of that. In this weird, dark, small, very intimate way, there's a girl out there who relies on me. And that's super important to me, and I don't want to let her down.

I'm happy to sparkle like a glazed disco ball.

The Internet really offered a space for me to thrive.

It's important for people to understand where things come or what they represent.

It's not that that I'm not comfortable being naked, but when you grow up fat, you can't take away the shame or embarrassment even though you're a model. It's not just erased.

I had seen images of Crystal Renn and Sophie Dahl growing up, but I didn't really know about the plus-size fashion industry or how lucrative it was or, like, that it was changing or that I was even invited.

A huge part of my career and how I want to participate in the world is being unapologetically myself and being honest and vulnerable.
