Hi! I’m Coral Diaz! I live in Miami, FL and I love all things beauty but self-love and a healthy self-image has always been something very important to me.

I think this series is amazing and I think it really conveys how beauty standards are becoming more fluid rather than a cookie cutter image.

I’ve always seen the beauty in people, no matter what. I’ve struggled with self-image my whole life but I was never too vocal about it. I’m Dominican and my family can be very critical. They used to tell me “You need to eat! You’re too skinny!” When I started gaining weight, my mom would say “You’re getting fat, you need to stop eating so much!” In this world, you can’t live your life pleasing others. So, as I got older, I realized that all that matters is how I feel about my self-image and my mental health. I feel like I would be a great addition to this show, because, like every other little girl, I remember watching T.V. and seeing all these beautiful women hoping I would grow up to look like one of them. I want to be able to show girls that they shouldn’t strive to become a carbon copy. They should strive to work on self-confidence, health (mental/medical), and remaining focused on their goals.
