Even cooler? AP also has a vested interest in teaching plus size women how to advocate for their health care in the face of weight discriminatory culture within the health care field.

I mean.

If you need something more than fashion to help round out your life, then you have to tune into and support what Alicia is up to.

Through her blog and social media platforms, she encourages and inspires women to shed the stereotypes. Not only shed them, but to step out of the boxes society tends to set for women who exist in bodies that are larger.

Representation and inspiration? Yes, maโ€™am.
