It’s Eating Disorders Awareness Week, and we have a special guest joining us…on IG this time! @tessholliday will join Board Member @mylatinatherapist and CEO Akiera Gilbert tomorrow afternoon to chat about her journey, barriers to eating disorder healing, and all things community. Tune in! ❤️
I don’t know about y’all, but I’m screaming @effyourbeautystandards more than ever🗣️ We have seen a steady decline of real diversity & the use of plus size models since 2019 & sometimes it feels like the industry is gaslighting all of us (myself included!) into thinking those days are far behind us.
It seems like every single day we are hearing of another retailer/designer discontinuing or limiting their plus size ranges. They give us subpar designs and charge us top dollar while acting shocked that the clothes aren’t flying off the shelves. If you were a chubby teenager in the early 2000’s like myself, you already knew that you were gonna have to DIY a look to even have a chance of fitting into a “trend” or feeling cute. They deprived us of the ability to cultivate our own personal styles until much later life, simply because of the limited access we had to clothes that fit our bodies. On top of all of that, they weren’t affordable, or accessible.
They gave us crumbs, and now they have been slowly taking those away. I AM HUNGRY FOR MORE! Ironic or iconic, you decide.
I’ll admit, the industry completely made me feel like there was no hope to be had, “why bother” was my mood for quite a while. I don’t know about y’all, but I can’t accept defeat. There are so many exciting brands like @shopberriez @loudbodies @tamara.malas @shopsoftcore @selkie @zelieforshe @pineconerow @hestaverse @fashionbrandcompany @reesabobeesa @allihalla @proudmaryfashion @plusbklyn @gia_irl @karolinevitto @lazyoaf @universalstandard @wray @bigbudpress @whatlowants making me excited about fashion again. We are overdue for equality & real diversity in fashion. I promise I won’t give up, but you gotta promise me to keep telling brands that we demand better. Keep showing up and showing out.

This trend is so cute🎀 What do you bring to the table? Wrong answers only 💅🏻 #girlmath #whatibringtothetable #trending #trendingaudio #trendingreels #justagirl
Growing up I never felt “pretty”, & I definitely didn’t like what I saw in the mirror. I know beauty is more than makeup & getting dressed up, but seeing myself in full glam for the first time truly changed my life. I was a makeup artist long before I ever stepped on set as a model, so my love for makeup runs deep. @marianamcgrathmakeup has been one of my favorites artists to create with the last few years & every time she touches my face I swear I don’t know how to act. I love you Mari, your talent is endless. 💕Hair by the iconic @alanaschober ilysm too! #glam #makeup #makeuplover #glamgirl
