Big Bones, Thick Skin
Episode 3 - Emma Meyer

Incredible plus-sized model and photographer Emma Meyer talks about how she got into modeling, Rachel Bloom's many assets, training with the National Youth Drama School of New Zealand, her internal struggles when seeing bodies like hers portrayed on the screen, Lena Dunham, and how her love of Harry Potter took her far from home. We cover fatphobia in modeling, Emma's efforts to use her experience in front of the camera to help photograph and make other fat models feel comfortable, and how much harder Black and Brown models have it than even plus-sized models.
