00:00You may call me fat you may think i'm ugly or have rolls like a cellulite everywhere or whatever it may be

00:05But at the end of the day i'm making money off of it

00:08And what are you doing?

00:30I

00:40Made uh

00:41Like three or four tiktoks one featuring my mom showing her a dance that I learned on tiktok

00:48That got really popular and it just blew up from there

00:52People just ended up really really liking it. There were so many people who if you didn't fit into this

00:58Lovely shape, you know perfect six pack

01:01You just weren't the cup of tea that tiktok wanted to push but all of a sudden there was this shift

01:07that I saw and

01:09People were commending me for my confidence and my size

01:13I started seeing a lot more of that with you know, other creators that were plus size and I thought it was amazing because

01:21It wasn't what you were used to

01:24I

01:26Feel like instagram there's a pressure

01:29Almost to look like the instagram models and to post what they post

01:33But on tiktok, it's honestly being who you are is what's gonna get you

01:38Popular and there's no pressure to it, which I think is amazing

01:53So

02:04I was always the bigger

02:06um

02:07or the chubbier friend

02:09um

02:10But I was also the taller one. So I just looked bigger than my friends

02:14so in my friend group, I I guess would stand out but not in the way that I wanted to

02:19And then but slowly I started to realize like oh I

02:24am a very beautiful person

02:26I definitely think

02:28tiktok being more diverse and showing people

02:32Of all different sizes is helping a lot of kids mostly

02:36Um across the world. I I know that growing up there was an app where I could see people like me

02:42Getting love from other people and support and you know getting popular

02:47Or whatever. I would feel so much better about myself. I've gotten the comments so much that

02:53Thanks to you and how confident you are in your body. I've i've become more comfortable with who I am

02:59I get emotional all the time about it because like I said, i'm just me. I don't

03:04Like I never see anything

03:07Special it's i'm jonathan

03:09I i'm who i've always been

03:12And to be able to be opening people's eyes to different cultures

03:16To this idea of body positivity and self-love and self-worth

03:20um

03:21It's just I thank god for it every day my entire

03:25Being is about celebrating who I am what I look like what I stand for that has to happen in order for us to

03:33um

03:34Kind of leave that type of beauty standard behind because at the end of the day that's what we're trying to do

03:40so

03:44You'll want this this but not this

03:52If i'm thick i'm thick everywhere i'm hoping that people just realize you know, they're worthy

03:57Um, regardless of what you look like your size

04:00Your color your ethnicity, whatever it may be you are worthy of respect and love and

04:07nobody

04:08Should think otherwise

04:29So

04:36A skinny girl can eat

04:38So many things and like not be judged for it

04:41But like as soon as you'll see a big girl living her best life dancing having fun literally loving herself

04:49Y'all get so mad and it's weird

04:51So

04:58They think that what we're talking about is you should be unhealthy and it has nothing to do with that

05:04You could be skinny. You could be big. You could be small

05:08The whole point is love the body that you're in allow yourself the grace of saying I am beautiful

05:15Every roll every curve because baby. I know I got a couple of them and I love mine

05:20But

05:21It's given people the everyday person who sits at home the everyday

05:26you know stay at home mom or

05:28Teacher it's given them the ability to say dang. I can be comfortable and I can love myself, too
