Basketball has taught me that no matter how unlikely something is, if you set a goal, and follow after that goal with all your heart, anything is possible.

I have been so blessed not only to talk about things that I want to talk about in my industry, but also to have a platform - and people want to hear about it. People want the change; people want the difference; people want to know what's going on. People want to see themselves in the industry that for so long has ostracized girls of my size.

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

I think the simpler the better.

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!

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!

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