Banks
Criticized throughout the past decade for her weight gain post-modeling, Banks has fought back against the body hate. “Sure, I was stompin’, and I know guys were like, ‘Woo, look at Tyra,’” she said. “But I know that my body being thicker on that runway meant something. A lot of the things I did in my modeling career as a woman of color was part of that feminism — of expanding the definition of beauty and making women feel beautiful, no matter what color their skin is.”
Banks told the Guardian that “I made my living being 20 or 30 pounds heavier than the average model. And that’s where I got famous. Victoria’s Secret said I sold more bras and panties than anybody else, and I was traipsing down that runway with 30 pounds more booty than the other girls.”
