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!

We are lucky to live in a world made up of so many different kinds of people and I am confident in the direction we are going.

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

It doesn't matter if you're a size 2 or 22, you can be healthy as long as you're taking care of your body, working out, and telling yourself 'I love you' instead of taking in the negativity of beauty standards.

The sense of pride I take away from doing something I know will be inspire women to feel confident about their bodies.

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

I didn't even think about hiding anything - I honestly went into it [with the idea that] I'm going to show myself off because no one of my size has ever been in this magazine [Sports Illustrated] and I need other women to know that they are just as beautiful.
