I really hope that the fashion community will not accept anything that does not represent everyone.

I felt free, once I realized i was never going to fit the narrow mold that society wanted me to fit in.

Basketball really is a metaphor for life - the intangible skills I have learned on the court, have helped shape the person I am today.

There is not one standard definition of beauty or one perfect size.

I got most of my confidence by having a mother who never said "I don't like this or this." It was just, "You've got to love what you have because it is the only body that has been given." I know that is where a lot of my confidence came from.

Who doesn't want to be comfortable all day long?

I've learned a lot about fashion through modeling, but you know what they say, mother knows best. She used to tell me, "Your shoes, bags and belt better match before you walk out the door." I love her, but I don't necessarily agree with that advice anymore!
