As you may very well be aware of by now, I founded Models Plus International, LLC (MPI) in Phoenix, Arizona in 1996. I am remembering how very challenging it was to secure job placement for full-figured women in print ads, fashion shows, television commercials or film projects.....So, immediately i put my focus on empowering these women through, a division of MPI, which we called, "EXCLUSIVELY PLUS TRANING CENTER(S)". We enrolled "Plus women" and immediately began encouraging them to explore the possibility of loving oneself. Through self-acceptance, self-confidence and self-esteem workshops, we further encouraged each woman to believe she could be a Model or just Look like one. (period). Since inception, MPI was the stand, that we could create a change in the way full-figured women viewed themselves, from the inside and out! We began by educating these women, offering 16 week training workshops, Monday thru Friday from 6pm-8pm. Soon afterwards, we set out to change the way media portrayed full-figured women..... and as you have seen over the past decade, in print ads, fashion shows, television commercials and many films, we have succeeded! Models Plus International, LLC is a leader in the "Plus Modeling" Industry.
By enrolling in the training workshops at Models Plus International, LLC, women were introduced to, and bonded with other women who looked like them, who shared their same concerns, convictions and, who then discovered.............................. the secrets to being successful in the PLUS-SIZE MODELING INDUSTRY.
I look forward to sharing more of those secrets with you in an upcoming GUIDE, which will be made available online.....so stay tuned!
Truly yours,

FYI: The first "Plus-size Model " to ever walk down the runway in Paris France was in 1997!
