I am a plus-size, outspoken, 30-something :) year-old mother of 3 lovely children.

I think A New Kind of Beautiful is opening a door into the fashion industry for people who never thought they could represent "beauty".

As a person/mother on the spectrum, I feel like I could be a good role model for people because I've overcome many obstacles in life. I grew up in one of the poorest cities in America and I became a mother at the age of 16. I have been building a life I am proud of since then. I want to eventually open up a shelter and rec area for kids that come from low-income families.
