“I honestly used to think I can’t do any of these things because I’m too big. When I realized I wasn’t and you can do anything at any size, it opened up a whole new world for me.” Kirsty Leanne
Have you ever felt you couldn’t travel to a destination or do something because you are plus-size? Don’t worry, we have been there too. Our interview guest on today’s episode has also felt that way and decided to do something about it.
In this podcast episode, we visit with Kirsty Leanne. She is a UK based Plus Size Trave Blogger who started quite the movement. She is the creator of Plus Size Travel Too. A special Instagram account that features plus-size travelers living their best to show brands “Plus Size Travel Too”.
“The message is more important than the risk.” Kirsty Leanne
Plus-size people are very rarely featured in any marketing, especially travel marketing. Kirsty wants to show brands, and anyone who will listen, that by not showcasing plus-size people they are majorly missing the mark. She feels, and we agree, that by showing plus-size people in travel marketing other plus-size people will feel more welcome to visit destinations. Representation is everything!
We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it! Kirsty is so sweet, genuine, and a real joy to talk to. Learn more about her, and where to follow her and her movement below.
