She puts the UMP in PLUMP! (#18)

Ada's casual cool vibe has caught the eye of my sister, Stacy. No wonder. Her urban-minimalist style stands out from the university crowd. Don't be fooled, this half-Nigerian beauty is a true Plump Pinay at heart.

What is your size?

Usually, it’s medium or large depending on the store.

Who is your style icon?

I don’t have any style icon. I just look at the style of random people I see everyday

Favorite store?

The Ramp, F21, Just G, People r People, SM Department store, Landmark, Ukay- Ukay (ze best)

Favorite pieces of clothing to wear?

I like cardigans, comfy shirts, and leggings


How do you want people to see your style?

Laid back

Where do you get your confidence from?

From my friends. Considering that I’m fat and I have a mixed-blood, I cannot avoid the fact that people are going to stare at me because I’m different. But because of my friends, especially Bam, I learned that being unique is not bad at all, and with that, I became confident about myself. I became confident with what I wear and how I look. I even dared myself to step out of my comfort zone in order to try to new things. :)

How important are other people’s perception of you to you?

It is important in a way. No matter what you say or do, people will still have something to say about you. That is why I always keep in mind to not let the negative opinions of some people affect me that much and just think about the positive things that other people are saying about me. :)

Message to other Plump Pinays

Be confident about yourself and everything will follow. Dare yourself. Step out of your comfort zone, because you’ll never know what you can achieve from doing such act. Do not let other people bring you down because of your weight. Be proud! Stay happy and beautiful! :)

I was lucky enough to be classmates with this awesome chick! Thanks Ada, for supporting our advocacy! :) You are too cool! Keep spreading the body love.

Plump love,
Danah
