Growing up I didn't have curvy role models, mainly because I didn't see enough curvy women represented in major ads.

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.

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

Some people might only recognize me half naked in my bikini and bra!

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.

I was the first size 14 model to be featured in an ad in the magazine,I was the first size 14 model on the cover!

I'm going to be pulling my pants up all day, and I'm just going to have a terrible day. Because if your clothes don't fit, just like bras or anything, it's not a good day.
