#SimplyBeHeard with Simply Be and America's Next Top Model

Ever since I can remember, America's Top Model has been one of my favorite shows. I used to love sitting and watching the wannabe models come into their own - I really related to a lot of their struggles with confidence on and off the runway. Some of the models are still some of my favorites until this day (re: YaYa Dacosta, Eva Marcelle), so imagine my excitement when I heard one of my favorite brands, Simply Be, was sponsoring the next season!

Simply Be is giving us the dish on the models for this upcoming season, and has asked myself and four of some of my favorite bloggers to share in their empowerment movement. #SimplyBeYourself is our effort to come forth and take a stand for what you believe in! My hashtag is #SimplyBeHeard, so you know I had to talk about how much social media has given us a voice, and how monumental social media has been for the Plus Size community and the Body Positive movement. Check out our video below:

And now it's YOUR turn to us how you like to #SimplyBeYourself! Upload a clip (15 seconds max) or photo to Instagram, Twitter or Facebook with talking about how you relate to any of these hashtags: #SimplyBeHeard, #SimplyBeFearless, #SimplyBeSassy, #SimplyBeUnique or #SimplyBeSeductive. Click here for info about the prizes!

Stay tuned for an update during NYFW - we'll be celebrating the launch then :)
