August 31, 20177 yr Fashion Magazine October 2017 On being open about her Christian faith: “I don’t think anybody should be afraid to represent or talk about it, even though I feel there’s something about Christianity that makes people very touchy. Which is why, now in my 20s, I try to surround myself with people who believe the same thing I do – who follow it and are open to it – because it’s too hard to constantly get people to understand what I do if they just aren’t interested in it.” On the downsides of social media stardom: “It adds a lot of layers of insecurity. You’re being told on a much larger scale that you’re not pretty, you’re not this, you’re not that. Basically, it adds a lot of layers of bullying…You think about what they’re saying, and you wonder if they’re right.” On her skyrocketing success in modeling: “A year ago, I wouldn’t have thought that I’d be doing what I’m doing now…I’m [actually] still kind of shy about that. I’m timid and goofy. Once you get to know me, you’ll see I’m clumsy, but I think it’s funny. Some girls really know that they’re pretty, and they act like it.”
