From young girls, women have been constantly pressured to look and act a certain way. We're either too fat or too skinny. Our boobs and butts are either too big or too small. We either wear to much makeup or not enough.

About two years ago I came across New York native Rebecca Sonia Boria who now resides in Seattle, WA. She is an unapologetic plus size fashion blogger who promotes self love and body positivity. I fell in love with her style, her confidence (everyone knows I love a strong woman), and her drive to be successful in life. I got the chance to interview someone I can now call a dear friend of mine. We spoke about how she got started in the Fashion industry and her plans for the future. Take a look and ride the Rebecca Sonia wave.

So what got you into fashion?

Ever since I was young I loved clothing. Throughout my high school years I struggled a lot, I was uncomfortable, and I couldn’t find trendy clothing in my size. It was difficult for me because there weren't that many options. Truth be told that made me hate myself. After high school, I took a year or two off to figure out what I really wanted to do with my life. I was never interested in being a nurse or a social worker although those are great choices it wasn’t for me. I finally decided to go to school for fashion design. Six months into it I left. it wasn’t a good fit for me. I knew I wanted to do something within this industry, I just didn’t know exactly what. After some soul searching and sleepless nights, I came up with my blog.

When and why did you start blogging?

Well, I started blogging in April of 2015 however, there is a relaunch of my website on August 22, 2016 so be on the look out. The root of this all was because I didn’t see my self in other bloggers. There was no representation of me and if I wanted to see that, I had to be the one to do so. My main goal is for women to find themselves and to love themselves for who they are no matter the size. Whether a woman is my size or any size for that matter, we should all feel comfortable wearing what ever we want no mater. Even if it isn't “ socially acceptable”. I want to break those fashion barriers that society has on plus size women. Fashion shouldn't have rules, it shouldn’t have a “guest list”. Everyone should be invited to feel beautiful and confident in there own skin. So, if I want to whip out a bikini I'll do so, and I'll do it proudly.

Do you plan on collaborating with any companies in the future?

My aspiration is to collaborate with Target or ASOS. That's one of my five year goals.

What are you doing now to get yourself out there?

I go to a handful of fashion shows out here in Seattle, as well as networking events. I leave my business card EVERYWHERE I go. No one walks out without knowing who Rebecca Sonia is.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
