Olga Gonzalez Ramos Plus Size Inspiration

Olga Gonzalez Ramos

Through our journey in life we meet inspiring people and I have met one recently, her name is Olga Gonzalez Ramos. Since the first time we started talking  we clicked, having so many things in common. Olga is a proud Latina plus model, actress and motivational speaker who hails from New Jersey. In this capacity, her mission has been to show society and the media that plus size women, as well as today's curvy youth, are just as talented and beautiful as any other women...she is a Curvy Advocate and has appeared in Marie Claire in a 'plus-positive' article on being big, beautiful AND successful!

She has also appeared in Figure & All You Magazines and can be found in the forward of Chamein Canton's, Down That Aisle in Style!: A Wedding Guide for the Full-figured Woman, she is also Contributing 'Relationship Adviser' of Just as Beautiful is the #1 UK Lifestyle publication for plus size women.  Olga has also appeared on segments for Univision and Telemundo and is a featured extra in the Matt White video 'Love' shot in NYC.  Olga was interviewed by Despierta America last week and she was amazing...the camera loves her. As a writer she is very much admired, I love her column in Daily Venus Diva and in Latina Magazine among others, she has plans to come to Puerto Rico, we are working on the details, and I can't wait to meet this beautiful and inspiring lady that I am proud to call my friend!

Plus Model Ana Garcia Chosen for Newspaper Editorial

Ana Garcia, Plus Model from Puerto Rico chosen for a mega Shoot in leading Newspap
Coming from a beautiful Island, Puerto Rico, it is not easy for a Plus Size Model to be ackowledged, it is a thin models territory, but things are changing around. Ever since Torrid came to town with their model search and I saw the beautiful girls that they selected for the fashion show I became a Plus Size Advocate, because I noticed that our Plus Size Community was not recognized  and ignored and I made it my mission in life to change things around, I wanted mainstream magazines and boutiques to notice my curvy girls.  It was not easy at first because I knocked on many doors and they did not open, but I perseveared, didn’t give up and my hard work payed off. The first ones to recognize a Plus Size Model were Casiano Communications and then others followed, like Buenavida, Inelda Santana from Style & Mode, Esposa Moderna, Ego Magazine, Nanette Rodriguez from Blossom Boutique and photographer Vanessa Velez. They started using Plus Size Models for editorials. Vanessa Velez did a boudoir shoot with a Plus Size Model that was the talk of the town, simply beautiful and classy. Nanette Rodiguez used a Plus Size Model for a lingerie fashion show that only use thin models, that was a mega hit!  Today, I am proud to announce that the number one newspaper on the Island has done a shoot with a Plus Size Model for their fashion editorial and it was always done with thin models, that day was very emotional for me because Puerto Rico is waking up and seeing that Plus is Beautiful too and my hard work has paid off… I want to congratulate the Plus Size Model  Ana Garcia for being the model chosen for this mega shoot and also congratulate other plus models like Samantha Sang, and Anais Conde for also being featured in mainstream magazines. I feel blessed!!
