My first time joining up with Curvy Kate was in July 2016, I had just started putting myself out there again after having my second son. I was on a journey, one I'm sure never really ends, to become more body positive and to love myself for who I am. I got through to the Live Auditions of the Curvy Kate Star in a Bra Competition and since then have worked on a couple of their fabulous campaigns. So this year when the brand turned 10, I knew I wanted to be involved. Though when my invite came through to join the Curvy Kate 10th Anniversary London Bus Tour, I did wonder if I was out of my depth, but as many things go in my life, I agreed, and just went along with the ride.
