Plus-size model on big mission

THICKLEEYONCE will never get tired of talking about her journey as a plus-size woman because she’s on a bigger mission.

The photographer and model took to social media last week to share how she met a girl‚ Liah‚ while on holiday, who poured her heart out about how Thickleeyonce’s confidence had inspired her own.

“I am on holiday in Mozambique‚ having breakfast with my family and this beautiful girl comes to me and starts crying and thanking me for helping her to learn to love herself … ‘I am dressed like this because of you’‚ she says‚” Thickleeyonce shared on social media.

Thickleeyonce shared that no matter how much hate and abuse she got for showing off her body‚ she would never stop because she knew it was part of her purpose in life to inspire.

Some people on Twitter felt that all she talked about was her weight and they were growing tired of it.

However‚ in the face of the hate, many of Thickleeyonce’s fans defended her, including actress Thembisa Mdoda.

The plus-size model became popular after she shut down a troll who aimed to body-shame her with a viral clapback last year‚ catching the attention of international publications such as Teen Vogue USA.

Speaking to reporters last year after her viral clapback at the troll‚ the model said she was all about positivity.

“It’s important that we all stand up against societal standards of beauty and understand that we are all beautiful in our own ways.” — DDC
