Diamonds Are Forever – Plus Size Bikini Lookbook

in Bikini Lookbook on 08/29/19

I am so excited to share this project with you! Before The B Word, I was a vocalist, performer and theatre producer. I will always be those things, but for the past four years I haven’t performed because of unresolved thyroid issues and then fear. This year I knew I had to start marrying my two worlds, because ultimately I want to continue doing it all.

As a huge fan of media and as someone who aspires to create media representation, I present to you “Diamonds Are Forever”, a James Bond themed bikini lookbook. I wanted to make something that was sexy, editorial, dramatic and unapologetically fat. My dream for my life is to continue making media that speaks to the experiences of people in marginalized bodies. Netflix, give me a deal!

This has been such an amazing, lesson learning experience and I’m excited to take The B Word and my productions to new levels. Thank you to the incredible creative team behind this! Thank you to my B Word audience, for allowing me to share all parts of myself with you on the internet.

It’s been a dream come true ++
