Where are the sexy lingerie for men of size? I found underwear and robes, but that is just not enough. Where are the sexy sets at? If I am going to get sexy for him, I want him to match my swag. This is just another reason why men feel “forgotten about” for Valentine’s day.

It's February already, and Love is in the air, a love for self, a love for doing what we love and loving what we do, a love for new beginnings, seizing the moment, and living each day as if it were our last. We see a love for nurturing relationships and being able to take them to new highs, we see a love for fashion, and finding amazing events and places to travel and show all off. This type of love is practically the mantra for all of 2023.

It wasn’t until 2019 when professional football slowed down for me when I realized how there was a lack of size inclusivity in the fashion world.

The career goal is to not have a 9-5 and focus primarily on modeling and acting.

Representation (plus size) is extremely important in our media, and the fashion industry is a huge part of that. When people are not represented fairly or equally, it makes them question their validity within society. This feeling of being outcasted can lead people to believe that they do not belong among their peers.
