The great model and influencer of size Brielle Anyea has become a mission of life to be an example for other women to "embrace their power."

These are 7 data about her that you must know.
Different dream
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1995, Brielle's original dream was very different from what he does now: he wanted to be an actress. To do this, he moved to Los Angeles, but found obstacles. "Hollywood was extremely discriminatory with me for being a big black woman. They told me that I would never succeed as an actress due to my size, figure and skin tone." This was a hard blow, especially because I already lived with insecurities: "As a child, I felt so ugly and despised in this world. I felt that there was something wrong with me because of the simple fact of existing. Many black women feel unattractive because we live in a society that has done everything possible to make us feel insignificant."
Change of course
Fortunately, someone told him not to give up and that, with his beautiful face and attractive curves, he will try modeling. "In 2015, I introduced myself to an international call for models with curves with Milk Model Management, and I won. I immediately hired agencies around the world, and there I started. Now I have modeled around the world and I feel incredibly fortunately fortunate to dedicate myself to this full time." This is how a career began that has led her to collaborate with brands such as Asos, H&M, Kohl’s and Nike, as well as being represented by the State Management agencies, Curve Models Germany and Bella Models Australia.
A very special session
Brielle, in addition, has starred interviews and editorials in magazines such as glamor, but it was his participation in the popular “Swim Search” of Sports Illustrated magazine, in 2020, which led his fame to another level. This is a casting that the publication makes every year for its edition of swimsuits, and Brielle was among the first six finalists, which granted him the publication of a beautiful photo shoot that made him in the Turkish islands and Caicos. "It was an unforgettable moment for me, since black models are rarely get work in such great projects. For me, it was to transfer an important barrier."
Life in the networks
Along with his professional career as a model, Brielle saw on social networks the opportunity to promote their work and inspire other women. Thus, in his Instagram and Tiktok accounts (@Missesbriell in both), where he has more than 140,000 followers and 174,000 “Like”, he publishes varied content of clothing and fashion for curvilinear women, tips for skin and hair care, and his life in general. In addition, he has become a coach to "teach women to gain self -confidence through personal brand and self -love," as he points out in his description. He also uses his networks to promote Misses Brie Swim, a line of swimsuits designed by her, as well as her training workshops for new models.
Acceptance
Brielle has pointed out that his success has not been exempt from criticism. "On the Internet, it is the trolls who comment on my size, figure, skin color, etc. no longer bothers me. I am concentrated in being a better version of myself to encourage others to do the same. In real life, it is racism. That part I have not overcome it and I will never overcome it until the racists go to another planet or learn to be friendly with all." The model says that, after "many tears, statements and mental training," she has been able to make peace with her body and now treats it with the utmost respect. Thus, he has been able to assume the label of being a "plus size model", a label that qualifies as "beautiful."
Greater inclusion
For this American model, in the fashion industry there has been a significant change with the inclusion of more women with large or intermediate sizes, but "unfortunately, they are mostly white or birrales. It has been very little the change in the visibility of large black women." In an interview, she said that many times she is the only model with her characteristics in the sets, so she considers that it is time for brands to do something about it. For several years, Brielle has been a member of the Model For Change Now collective (models for a change now), which brings together more than 200 black models and workers in the fashion world in a campaign to address the “systematic“ systematic racism ”of the industry.
