Sophia and I also discuss what it means to be a "curve model".

In this episode, I talk about a serious issue many models face in the industry- being exploited by photographers. I share my experience of a photographer who created a subscription-based website where he shared photos of models, including some explicit and nude images. I share the emotional and legal impact of this situation, and how important it is for us to hold people accountable in this industry.
