that were
deeply

myself and
my body
discovery
While being a plus size
woman, I have been
always creative with
accommodating my
wardrobe to my body: I
would alter clothes from the
straight size rack to fit my
curves most of the time. It
was not until the curve
revolution started a few
years ago, or rather, until
it occurred to me that
more labels and designers
are out there that cater to
me. I decided to shed off
my fears that were deeply
engrained and I started
simply enjoying myself and
my body discovery. In the
Fall of 2016, I approached
one of local plus size
designers I admire, Yona
New York, whom I met at her
Pop-Up event. I was really
encouraged by her message
about her designs: You
can be bold, powerful and
beautiful without revealing
everything like on a platter!
Soon after, I was attending
my first ever fashion show
as a runway model for Yona. That very same time,
I was scouted by an agency to join them as a plus
model. I pondered, but I could not be happier with
my decision. This not only boosted my confidence
but also further allowed to develop Urbanephoto.
