DIANNE JOHNSON

Hi, my name is  Dianne Johnson. I live in Northern Jersey. The majority of my life I have always been the tall, black, fat girl in my schools and basically anywhere I went. It didn't help that all of my friends were much shorter than me and nowhere near my complexion or weight. It definitely didn't help that my father (also best friend) was reminding me every day that I needed to lose weight and stop eating so much. He stopped worrying so much about my weight when I started taking care of him, he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer over a year ago and that's when I lost my way.

As of February 27 of 2017, I decided that modeling was something that was important to me because I wanted to share my positivity with others who look like me or even people who don't look like me. I want everyone to know that if you're beautiful on the inside you will always be beautiful on the outside. So my platform for being a plus size model is body positivity with others who look like me or even people who don't look like me, I want everyone to know that if you're beautiful on the inside you will always be beautiful. My platform as a plus size model is body positivity for all and knowing your self worth. I'm still working on that one.
