From a young age, my parents always told me and my sister how important it was as a girl to be more than just a pretty face and I think we've carried that message through out our lives.

Mothers have a huge influence on how their daughters view themselves and how they treat their bodies.

I remember trying to work out like crazy to get rid of all of my womanly features because I thought they made me fat.

Being able to talk about your body openly is such an empowering thing.

I am a girl, so I never looked at my dad's body and thought that's what I need to look like.

Every sweet, humble young model is only one campaign away from becoming a fashion monster.

I strongly believe every model has a right to set rules for how she is portrayed and for me these rules were clearly circumvented.
