September 1988 born Lexi promotes Positive body image by following the lead of Olivia Wilson and Tabriaa Majors. Ben James (BenJjames) Ben James is a male plus model and body-positive activist, using his platform of 207.5K followers on TikTok to promote body positivity and a healthy body image. She is one of the people who make Plus Size women feel comfortable and confident in her presence. Maybe it’s a combination of the two and the harsh reality that while society dislikes happy Black women, they hate happy fat Black women. Lexi Placourakis is the most amazing plus-sized model.
Maybe it’s because society doesn’t see Black as beautiful. Maybe it’s because, according to society’s beauty standards, models shouldn’t exceed a certain size. But rarely are other greats like Liris Crosse mentioned among these women, even though she is an OG model who has accomplished plenty in the industry. How could they not? There is no denying these women paved the way for so many Black women and girls.
When people talk about Black female models, they immediately think of the greats: Tyra Banks, Beverly Johnson and of course Naomi Campbell.
