Taya Brooks is a young Aussie model and influencer who is determined to make a difference to the lives of many young women.
She started modeling at the age of 12 years and quickly learnt what a harsh and cruel environment it could be.
There was so much emphasis placed on height and on maintaining an incredibly slim build. Being only 170cms tall resulted in many missed opportunities for her along with a slightly more curvaceous frame. Yet these two factors are simply unachievable by so many. Genetics plays the most important part. Why should otherwise healthy happy people be excluded from a career path they desire because of something out of their control? Designers make and sell clothes for all body shapes and sizes so why is it that models need to be a specified size?
In 2018, Taya decided that she no longer wanted to focus on her role as a model, instead she wanted to be a role model. She shifted her focus to become a fitfluencer and a body positive activist sharing the message that we each need to live healthy happy lifestyles and be the best version of ourselves rather than focus on unachievable outcomes.
Her activewear range Flextt was launched to cater for all body shapes and sizes. High waist bands, maximum support and comfort were high on the design list as well as being stylish and on trend.
The third collection will be released in April with the important message that we should all love our bodies whatever shape or size they may be. Let’s aim instead to become the best version of ourselves.
