Plus-size model Iskra Lawrence has never been shy about advocating for body positivity and overall more focus on health over appearance in the modeling industry, and her latest shot is no different.
Plus-size model Iskra Lawrence has never been shy about advocating for body positivity and overall more focus on health over appearance in the modeling industry, and her latest shot is no different.
"I am one of the lucky ones... The young me on the left entering into the model industry at 13, survived.
16 years later and I have heard far too many stories of sexual, physical and mental abuse within the fashion industry," she wrote.
Like the time someone told her to fix her "vag" before posting her latest photo.
"No airbushin no problem," she wrote.
She wrote, "All my skin in all its unretouched glory" surrounded by lightning emojis and ended the post with the hashtag "#celluLIT".
Yes, girl!
"You inspire me so much specially now that I’m going through a hard situation about how I see myself," one fan wrote. "Thank u for all!"
"You're truly a role model for everyone. It's about time we all embrace the nature beauty we all have. No more retouching photos to please the public. Thank you for being you and sharing yourself with us all #bodypositive," another said.
"I am really struggling...thought I’d feel so ready to do a gender reveal. I was already indecisive about whether I wanted to know, and I’m so happy we did and we shared the moment with my dad and mom on FaceTime our close friends on thanksgiving and then yesterday with my English family," she wrote.
"I’ve always been so so vulnerable online sharing about my past BD, ED talked about mental health and shared so so much but this isn’t about me."
"And even though right now I know what gender the professionals have announced that may not be who my child decides to be and it doesn’t feel right to make a big deal about something so personal to them."
"Because I never want my child turning around and saying why did you decide to share my life online or make it seem like a public service announcement. And of course I support all my loved ones and peers who have gone and shared with the world I just can’t," she continued.
One thing is for sure, though. Her child is going to grow up with the most body-positive mom around!
