There's 67 percent of women that are in this plus-size world that we live in. And that's over half of the women in the world. So why are we not dressing for [them]?

I am really glad women are speaking out.

I've always gotten like, you're a queen' or yes motha. And you're beautiful and a lot of people are saying that because I am confident, and they are finding themselves to be more confident. Especially when you meet them in person.

I don't have to accept what you think I should look like and I do not accept what you think I should look like.

I go by my own standards, and I will be the voice of the curves for the women that feel like they can't stand up for themselves.

It's crazy how your mind works because you can receive hundreds and thousands of all these love posts and all this good affirmation on Instagram or Twitter. And then that one person writes one thing that dims your light but that's the thing you can't let it dim your light, because what I've realized - it's really not your problem, it's theirs.

Honestly, I haven't always been into fashion because I wasn't seeing myself reflected in the fashion industry ... Clothes are such a big part of who we are, they really show our personalities. I wasn't finding that.
