First giving honor to God, who is the head of my life. I’m the oldest of three girls. My father is Nigerian, my mother is Black American. I was born and raised in California. When I moved to New York City, I quickly realized that a girl like me had to work a little harder and be a little smarter in order to reach my goals. I had unique challenges as a plus size girl. From dating, to job hunting to finding wide calf boots, things were different for me. I needed a place to sort through my own feelings of insecurity. So, I started a blog as a hobby where I could write about fashion, fitness, dating and living in New York City from a curvy girl’s perspective. From the beginning, I’ve had a community of passionate and insightful women who have come along with me on my journey (if you’ve been with me from the beginning, thank you!). As my work made an impact in the world, I’ve been super humbled to model and work with brand partners including: Nike, Loft, Ford Motor Company, the New York City tourism board and so many more.
