Eighty one years young

Eighty one. 81 years old. And a cover model on Sports Illustrated.

Over the last few years, society’s definition of what is beautiful has been expanding. Last year, Yumi Nu—who is both Asian and plus sized—graced the cover of Sports Illustrated. This year, 81 year old Martha Stewart is one of four cover models, along with Megan Fox, Kim Petras and Brooks Nader.

It’s okay to be you. It’s okay to not be 18 and a size zero. You are still beautiful and desirable and worthy. You are still strong and powerful and intelligent. It’s okay to celebrate your own brand of beautiful.
