At 25-years old, Iskra Lawrence has a mission to show the women of the world that your body is beautiful and despite what the society has told us, your flaws are beautiful.
Iskra hails from Worcestershire and she’s taking that plus-sized modeling category by a storm, trying to educate women about “positive body image.”
Iskra does this through the RunWay Riot website that she runs and through her IG by showing off her pics that aren’t photoshopped or airbrushed, but real… or as she put it in her IG posting:
“iamiskra
oh hey there.. Yes this is clearly a booty pic but do you see why? Because I haven’t airbrushed my tiger stripe stretch marks 
or my cellulite lightening bolts ⚡️ or my back fat 🌮
because this is my body, I love it it’s real and I love posting pictures showing how confident I am because society has taught us we have “flaws” and I’m telling you who gives a.. Because you are more than your body and you get to decide what beauty is

tag a friend who’s flaws are flawless & are imperfectly perfect ”
The Runway Riot website tells us that it “is the fashion, style and beauty site for women of all sizes. We are dedicated to serving an underrepresented and often overlooked community of curvier women who deserve to have just as many stylish choices as everyone else.”
When she a teenager, she came into the modeling world at 13 when she was scouted after entering the Elle girl search competition. At the time, her modeling world was about trying to fit into that one digit size and trying to be someone that they wanted her to be not who she really was.
Iskra said, “I realized at around 18 that instead of trying to change my body to fit into sample sizes I would try to change the industry.”
Iskra wants people to know that she doesn’t just like real foods, but that she does workout. She has even said it, she works out about 3-4 times a week for up to 2 hours a workout. She posts her workouts too… or bits of them at least. She works directly with NEDA (National Eating Disorder Association) and she is trying to inspire girls and women around…
For example, in this vid she shows us her “before” thing she likes to do…

🏼 my favourite way to warm up before #legday w/ @will_brownpt height of the two boxs 40inchs or 1 meter – it’s not about looking pretty at the gym you got to put in work and sweat your a$$ off

Perhaps she’s more of a norm than the odd man out when it comes to size, her figure and especially her butt… but to the model world, they look at Iskra as plus-sized.
They’ve also compiled some of her IG vids together….
