Q: How did you get cast on TLC's show Big Sexy?
A: I saw a casting online and submitted myself. They narrowed their search down before seeing anyone and I was invited to a private casting. They kept calling me back and the rest is history! I’m a lucky girl
Q: What was your experience during filming the show with cameras following you around all the time?
A: It was fun! People kept wondering and asking us what we were doing and they always looked really confused. The shooting itself took a few weeks but we got to do such fun things like go to Miami (which was my first time) and go speed-dating (though that ended tragically for me) *laughs*.
Q: What has been everyone's reaction after the show premiered?
A: The reaction overall was really positive. I got tons of emails from women and men who said the show affected them in a positive way and inspired them. I think plus size women were craving something like this on television and people were just so happy to see women on TV they could relate to. It was a powerful feeling to know that in just 3 episodes people felt different about their lives. Amazing!
Q: Can you give us some background on yourself, your professional goals?
A: I am a “Cali” girl living in NYC. I had some TV/radio experience before getting into modeling. I’ve been signed with a few agencies and right now I am working on a few projects that I am excited about sharing soon. The sky is the limit for me and I plan on working more in TV, hosting, speaking and modeling.
Q: Do you have any plus size clothing fashion advice or tips that you swear by?
A: I like to keep my wardrobe basic and add personality with accessories and colors. I also do little things that make me happy like wear bright yellow nail polish or bright red lipstick. The little fun things you do for yourself really add up and boost your confidence!
Q: Lets have some fun, fashion Icon?
A: Tough one. I like Beyonce. Whether she is casual in jeans or wearing a gown to an awards show she always looks so classy and put together. I also really like the risks that Beth Ditto takes. She does what she wants and I love it.
Q: Celebrity crush?
A: How much time do you have? I really love Idris Elba. He is just so yummy and super talented. And the accent ain’t all that bad either, honey!
Q: If you could have any superpower what would it be?
A: About 3-4 times a week I catch myself saying “If I were a bird I would fly” because trains and buses just aren’t fast enough for me. *laughs* I’d be one big sparkly fat flying superhero with a sequence cape saving the day!
