“Seeing my mother struggle with her weight confused me: I looked at her...” — Denise Bidot Quote

“Seeing my mother struggle with her weight confused me: I looked at her and thought she was beautiful, she was my mom. And this woman, who I looked up to everyday, couldn't see her own beauty?”

“I think that there are a lot of beautiful girls out there in our industry who are really taking a stand and being advocates for happiness and size diversity, and so the consumers are also very vocal.”

“My daughter is 8 years old, and just recently she came to me and said a girl called her fat. And I couldn't imagine that was going on in second grade. It just blows my mind that kids are already being influenced by the media and using words this way.”

“I'm a Hip Hop artist, but I understand why some people are confused about that because a lot of people have a very narrow definition of what Hip Hop is to them.”

“I'm totally confused about what I'm going to do with my life.”

“Humility, I have learned, must never be confused with meekness. Humility is being open to the ideas of others.”
