In this episode of Broadly Meets, Ferrario explains why she sees the ‘plus’ language as damaging and disempowering. The model talks about the repercussions of limited representation, and how a lack of diversity in body type, ethnicity, and age affects audiences. Ferrario also talks about personal challenges over the course of her career, explaining her journey towards accepting her body and self image within the notoriously cutthroat modelling game. She explains how, to her, modelling is not just a representation of physical appearance, but an opportunity to explore various aspects of her identity.
