I am the co-creator of the blog Plus-Size Models Unite, a wife, mother of two children, friend, activist, eating disorder survivor, and a model.  I want to add my spark to this movement because I want to see diversity of every shape, size, and age represented in the media.  I want to encourage girls and women to be confident in their individual self, to live a balanced and healthy lifestyle, and to ask themselves this simple question daily, “What is one thing I love about myself today?”
