Whether you like it or not, like that's who you are in our heads. And there's no way that you're going to get out of that. Whereas when I started working with my mom and sister as well, I feel like that was the first time in my industry, in my career, and that I felt like I actually had a voice in who I am and the image of myself that I want to put out and what jobs.

Like I remember saying no to jobs because it just wasn't authentic. And at the end of the day, I'm like, my name is who I am. And if I'm lying all the time and just being like, okay, yeah, give me this job for a paycheck. Where is that authenticity? And that just didn't feel good with me, but then my agents would get so upset at me. Like, what do you mean you're turning down this money?

Because it's not authentic. I'm like, well, it's not authentic, so I'm not doing it. But now with my mom and sister, I feel like it's the first time in my career where I actually have a voice and they're like, no, we respect that you have boundaries and we respect that you have boundaries.

I mean, I think that there's always room for growth in every industry. I think especially modeling because it is so based on your looks and based on fitting in these boxes. I love how the industry really is being more open to different bodies and different like everything being different is now celebrated.

I feel like when I first started, there was always like if you weren't five, nine and like a supermodel, then you were not going to be picked very often. I remember once in Paris, they lined us all up and they were like, they just ripped us apart. They were like, okay, your ears are too big, you're too short, you're this, you're that, like just ripped us all apart.

And then they're like, okay, well, I guess you can get the job because like, it was like you fit into whatever image they had. Sure. Which makes a lot of sense because at the end of the day, models are supposed to be like almost like a blank canvas. And I do understand it, but I definitely have been loving the industry just being more accepting in general.

I mean, yeah, again, there's so many more changes that 100% could be made. And I think just having girls... feel like they have a voice, feel like they have the strength. Because for me, I was really privileged that I was just from Canada. But there's also so many girls that don't speak English that have all these things where we would all live together in model apartments.
