About

Hi there! I’m Iskra, business owner, brand builder, investor and supermodel momma

I love being a woman because we are powerful and compassionate. My goal has always been to let others find their unique power so they can shine too

ONCE UPON A TIME

I was a model being rejected because I didn't fit an 'ideal size'. I thought my body was the problem. Until I realised...

I wasn't the problem, the lack of diversity and inclusion in the fashion industry was. So I choose recovery, and as I navigated a new life embracing all the parts of me I decided to share it online (equally terrifying and liberating) but that where my life changed forever.
Through my vulnerability I connected with millions of people and created a community. Because of my community I was able to fight for the many voices not just mine that wanted change. And that's exactly what we did.

One of my fave shoots

Through my journey I finally found my purpose, empowering women to know their worth and go after what they want

I hope I didn't make that sound easy or unrelatable because recovery from an eating disorder and body dysmorphia certainly isn't, but it's the best decision you can ever make for yourself.
I was also broke af till about 10 years into my career but I never stopped dreaming believing and most importantly TRYING.
Trying involved a lot of asking for help, getting back up after failing making mistakes and being told another NO to add to the pile.
It's really hard to succeed on your own, I built a community, found mentors and shared what I was struggling with and I hope I can help you with at least 2 of those - because I'm sure you already have so much on your plate.
