00:03Recently I did a body image test shoot and I was in lingerie. I was in panties and bra. It
00:10was all
00:11white and when I saw those images I realized that I was fuller than what I appeared to be in
00:18the
00:18mirror but for some reason I just loved it. I mean once they were posted and I got all the
00:24reception back from women who were just saying you go girl and I wish I can be
00:30like you and these are body goals. The fact that I can see my stretch marks and
00:35the fact that I can see all the little nip and tucks that God put on me, that just
00:40made me feel so beautiful. I consider myself curvy but I'm in a plus industry
00:46where I am a 12. Clients have gravitated towards me a lot more because I'm a real
00:53size. I mean I have flappy arms when I wave I mean that's just me I just I don't
00:59try to be something I'm not. When you live you just stop thinking about people's
01:03opinions. It's so fulfilling when you just wake up and you realize that I'm me and
01:10nobody can stop me from being who I am.
