I Am A Daughter, A Sister, A

I Had Been On This Insane Diet For Almost 17 Years To Maintain The Weight That Was Demanded Of Me When I Was Modeling. My Diet Was Really Starvation. I Am Not Naturally That Thin.

I Had Dropped Out Of School And Was A Runaway, So I Didn't Have Family To Fall Back On If I Didn't Work. I Didn't Have A Lot Of Other Options Of Making Money Other Than Modeling.

I Feel Like It's My Responsibility To Honestly Cover A Lot Of Subjects In Part Because I Have Two Little Girls And I Really Want Them When They Grow Up To Have A Voice.

Being Born And Raised As A Californian, I Somewhat Ignorantly Had Taken For Granted The Diversity And Liberal Mindset That Shaped My Childhood And Adult Life.

I've Found That Balance Is Key. I'm No Longer An Extremist In Any One Direction.
