Plus-size model Iskra Lawrence is all about body positivity and self-love. She wants to focus on health instead of appearance and understands how damaging the model industry can be.

Iskra suffered from body dysmorphia and experienced issues with her weight. The model industry made these insecurities worse.

Fortunately, she made a fantastic journey towards body acceptance. Now she shares her "imperfections" on social media to inspire others.

Iskra wants to make other people aware of the dangers of abuse in the model industry and how it affects young models.

"I am one of the lucky ones... The young me on the left entering into the model industry at 13, survived. 16 years later and I have heard far too many stories of sexual, physical and mental abuse within the fashion industry."

Like many other influencers advocating body positivity, Iskra has to deal with internet trolls. Like this commenter asking her to fix her "vag" before posting.

Many models are being retouched to remove cellulitis and other body imperfections. As a reaction to this, Iskra shared a bikini picture and talked about her "lil back rolls and thick thighs and cel-u-lit."

She added:

"No airbushin no problem."

Another stunning beach shot got a lot of love from her fans.

"All my skin in all its unretouched glory" was her description of the photo. She added lightning emojis and the hashtag "#celluLIT."

She shared more of her uplifting hashtags.

The fans were not slow with their responses, and one of them wrote:

"You inspire me so much specially now that I'm going through a hard situation about how I see myself. Thank u for all!"

Another wrote:

"You're truly a role model for everyone. It's about time we all embrace the nature beauty we all have. No more retouching photos to please the public. Thank you for being you and sharing yourself with us all #bodypositive,"

Iskra has also recently revealed that she is pregnant with her first child. But for the fans wondering about the gender reveal, don't expect too much...

"I am really struggling...thought I'd feel so ready to do a gender reveal. I was already indecisive about whether I wanted to know, and I'm so happy we did and we shared the moment with my dad and mom on FaceTime our close friends on thanksgiving and then yesterday with my English family."

She continued:

"But that's it, I haven't been able to just text anyone the "news" and certainly don't feel like I can tell the world."

"I've always been so so vulnerable online sharing about my past BD, ED talked about mental health and shared so so much but this isn't about me."

She went on:

"I might be carrying baby P and until now it's been about my pregnancy experience but this is their life."

"And even though right now I know what gender the professionals have announced that may not be who my child decides to be and it doesn't feel right to make a big deal about something so personal to them."

"So Yup I'm gonna be a party pooper."

"Because I never want my child turning around and saying why did you decide to share my life online or make it seem like a public service announcement. And of course I support all my loved ones and peers who have gone and shared with the world I just can't."

Iskra makes a lot of sense in her statements, and you got to respect her for that.

No matter the gender, Iskra's child will grow up with a real caring and body-positive mom!
