New Year, New Sense of Body Confidence

I felt like people shy away a lot from calling themselves plus size & curve and I wanted a video that shows the opposite of this.

Being comfortable in your skin and being able to dress how you want to dress is a beautiful thing and I wanted a visual interpretation of this.

Asking the same questions to both Enam and Lauren you can see how differently they see themselves but the joy and happiness that oozes from both is whats contagious.

I also felt like in fashion some companies shy away from putting models in clothes that can be seen “unflattering” I wanted these models to style themselves how they would if they was to go.

Enam Asiama is Ghanaian by birth and partly upbringing, whose family moved to the UK from a young age. She is now an Events Management graduate, Plus size advocate and model. Who has partnered with creatives such as Black Girls Picnic, Strickly Queens and most recently Missguided to highlight the lacking representation of fat, black, woman identifying bodies via her social media. She has been featured in popular social platforms such as Afropunk, Refinery29, Illamasqua and a few more. She has always believed that empowerment of women and women of colours comes from self-love and self-care which she represents through the visuals she shares on her social media. Enam identifies as a Fat Queer Femme which reflects through the way she boldly presents her beauty + style.  Follow more of her work on her Instagram  @enamasiama
