“I have a big butt and big boobs. That’s how I was born, and I’m happy with my body, but I also know that people have a lot of opinions about someone who looks like me. […] I want to show that you can look like this – and have a super strong and healthy body. Hopefully I can help normalize the image of what health looks like.”
