Saskia

Tell us what you’d like us to know about yourself;

My name is Saskia; I am a mother of two beautiful queer teens. I have a bubbly personality and, I live my life as if every day is the last one. I am a very social person and a body-positive activist who stands up for everything I believe in.

Tell us about your career?

My career has been a constant one but at the same time also a very dynamic one. I have been flying around the world as a flight attendant for over 23 years, and I still love it very much.

8 years ago, I decided to create my own platform to draw awareness to all the bias still exciting towards fat people. Through my fashion sense, I speak up for all marginalized people.

The lack of diversity and inclusivity in fashion, most certainly across my generation, has led to women and young girls perceiving their bodies, beauty, features, and subsequently their identities as not worthy. In some cases, they sadly wonder what is ‘wrong with them.’ They are constantly fed images by the media and their everyday lives that promote unrealistic beauty standards.
