Yamamay’s Brand Ambassador, Kate Uptown, one of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit models in the world, had a few things to say about Yamamay:
How important is it for you to be the ambassadress of Yamamay?
I’m so excited to be working with Yamamay. They have beautiful silhouettes and truly understand the importance of fit for all women of all shapes and sizes. It’s important to feel beautiful and comfortable at the most intimate layers, and Yamamay truly emphasizes that in every piece.
How do you define ‘confident beauty’?
I think beauty is defined by one’s love of themselves. Beauty is in your confidence, attitude and self-assurance of who you are as a person. Beauty is not defined by comparing yourself to others or in measurements or sizes. The more you embrace who you are and work to be your best self, the more beautiful you’ll feel from the inside out.
Why Yamamay is important to you?
Yamamay is important to me because the brand promotes confident beauty and helps women feel like their best selves. They fit their intimates to a woman’s body with amazing quality and comfort.
What are the differences of the Yamamay brand to others?
I am so impressed by Yamamay’s innovation; their moisture-wicking fabrics provide an incredible solution for everyday wear with beautiful colors and flattering fits for all.
How important is it for you to be confident with your body?
I would be lying if I said that I’m confident about my body every single day. Like all women, I have insecurities. But, I work towards being my best self and being happy from within which helps me to feel strong and confident.
How do you maintain your physique? Any particular workout?
My fitness programme is mostly made up of weight training. I work out to feel strong and confident about my body, not to fit in a certain dress size or hit certain measurements. I also love to maintain an active lifestyle – for example I enjoy taking my dog Harley on hikes or joining fun classes such as cardio tennis to keep moving and enjoying the outdoors.
