Body Acceptance Advocate Dresses Like Beloved Celebrities To Show That You Don’t Have To Be Skinny To Look Good (48 New Pics)

Previously, I had a couple of in-depth chats with Katie about her ongoing projects, her goals, and size inclusivity. Katie’s been very busy ever since the start of the pandemic.

“I’ve been able to really connect directly with my followers in a new way through Stories. I am sharing my personal beliefs more. I’m definitely not shooting as much ‘street style’ content,” Katie told Bored Panda at the start of 2021.

Right before the lockdowns started, Sturino launched her Squeaky Clean Hand Sanitizer via her Megababe brand in January 2020.

“By March, the product sold out twice and the waitlist reached 15,000, but we were able to speed up our production to launch a bigger size as well as restock. We also launched the #MegababeCares initiative,” she said.

“We asked healthcare workers what would help most with long shifts, and sent anti-sweat, chafe, and odor products to provide comfort to these healthcare heroes. At the end of December, we launched our Squeaky Clean Sanitizing Wipes,” Katie noted how she adapted some of her business decisions to the circumstances.

Katie continued to work on the ‘Make My Size’ project as well. “It has been interesting to see how the media has covered weight gain and loss in quarantine. I always share that this is not news!” she said.

In the body acceptance advocate’s opinion, those struggling with self-confidence ought to reframe the issue. “I always say, put your confidence on first!”

Katie’s goals are to empower women of all sizes, help make them more confident, help them celebrate their style, and to raise awareness of size inclusivity.

“Though size inclusivity in the fashion industry has made a lot of progress in the past few years, it is clear that there are still some brands that will never extend their range. We have a long way to go,” she told Bored Panda last summer, in June 2020.
