Basketball, and the people I have met through the game have far and away had the largest impact on my life. Almost every positive role model I have ever had was a coach, mentor, or teammate.

The SI Swim cover was life changing, not just for myself but for women everywhere who've been told they can't do something because of their size. Body positivity is no longer a side conversation, it's mainstream.

I actually love modeling clothing and showing women that clothing and style can help your confidence shine.

I feel like we have to have [plus size models] as soon as possible. We're the norm. We're the majority.

Everyone wants to be an "expert" on social media and share their opinion behind the keyboard.

There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.

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