Tess Holliday has made sure that the world gets to see her stunning and fabulous face through her modeling, no matter what obstacles she has to overcome first.
Tess Holliday is 5'5" and a size 22, making her a breath of fresh air in the modeling world.
She was bullied as a child, and has had to face more bullying from the adult world.
Tess had been denied modeling contracts before based on her size, due to the fact that she didn't fit the excruciatingly specific mold required of models.
But Tess wasn't just going to quit like that.
Instead, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Tess started the #effyourbeautystandards campaign, and it was a viral success all over the Internet.
She absolutely crushed it on social media.
The campaign gained her 639,000 followers on Facebook and 352,000 on Instagram.
Now, Tess has signed a modeling contract with MiLK Management.
Vogue Italia has even named her one of the best plus-sized models in the world!
We think Tess's story is straight up amazing. Keep up the good work and keep showing the world how beautiful you are!
