my best and only memories of #MiamiSwimWeek are with my si_swimsuit family 💛 My first ever runway show was walking as a si_swimsearch finalist July 2017 at swim week . The next year I gained even more confidence strutting down their runway in July 2018 as a winner of the first ever si_swimsearch 😭 July 2019 I closed the Si Swimsuit show as a Cover Girl for the 2019 issue . Needless to say, the si_swimsuit show is an experience I will cherish for my lifetime . My journey of self acceptance grew tremendously on that stage . THIS was where I truly started falling in love with the parts of me that had a little extra jiggle , my curves, hip dips, stretch marks and those camera angles from every which way at the end of that runway. To the si_swimsearch finalists taking that stage tonight (sending my loving excited energy to you all from NYC tonight!!!) OWN THAT STAGE , take your time, chin up, stand tall, and be present 🦋🦋🦋 you’ll remember this moment for life
