In today’s society, it’s hard for a lot of women to feel comfortable in their own skin when models are constantly looking slimmer and slimmer every day. Add social media apps and photo editing tools into the mix, everyone feels like a gross, fat, ugly slob when they go online. The truth is, not everyone is “perfect” and the majority of the time, people only post and show photos they edited/filtered or the outcome of trying 100 times to get the perfect angle. While we know this to be true, it’s still a knock on our self-esteem when we see seemingly “flawless” girls flooding our newsfeeds while we sit in our sweatpants and messy buns. One plus-size model is using her Instagram, however, to clap back at those seemingly flawless women and make a new wave of beauty on her own.
Diana Sirokai uses her Instagram profile to show off her curves and what many would call “flaws” and promote body positivity. She poses in anything from tight dresses to lingerie with inspiring and moving captions. Her goal is to show other women who feel insecure about their bodies that their flaws can too be their power.
Remember You are just as special as the woman you idolise
