If you call me 'fat,' it doesn't bother me because I just don't care.
Fat is fat. This goes back to the word 'plus.' We describe things. We are humans, and we need to describe things.
I love technology. I love the Internet.
Celebrate the things that make you individual and unique, and realize that there's no one in this world that looks like you.
Put on your bikini, put on whatever you want to wear, and don't worry about what other people are saying.

By being present and being true, I believe that, in my own way, I am promoting diversity.
The brands that choose to use me, my agency and social media have given me a face and a voice.

For me, less is more. I don't often wear makeup, but when I do, a little concealer and some powder go a long way.
My hair is extremely dry and fragile, so moisture is key. I love black castor oil, shea butter, and lots of water.
New York City is one of the best cities in the world for walking it's virtually impossible to get lost.
I have a green juice every day because it makes me feel more awake; it makes my skin healthier.
No woman anywhere should be denied access to quality healthcare because of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.
Health management is my passion, and I hope to further my career in that area in the future.
I grew up in the U.K. And now reside in the United States, and my family is from Ghana.
I have to congratulate L'Oreal on its True Match foundation range. It's my go-to foundation, and I absolutely love it.
I've inherited so much culture, beauty, and love, and I'm the perfect mix of Philomena.
