They Judged Me for My Weight at Work, but I Turned the Tables and Proved My True Worth — Story of the Day
I dreamed of working in fashion, but on my first day, whispers and judgment greeted me. My boss, Aiden, dismissed me for my size, making cruel remarks and belittling my talent. Despite my efforts, no one took me seriously.
One day, I overheard Aiden telling HR, “I can’t have that fat girl here.” His words crushed me, but they ignited a resolve to prove my worth. I spent sleepless nights designing a collection for all body types, selecting real women as models.
On the day of the show, I swapped Aiden’s lineup with mine. When the lights came on, applause erupted. The crowd loved the inclusivity and praised the designs. Furious, Aiden tried to claim credit, but I stood firm.
As I stepped onto the runway wearing my creation, the standing ovation affirmed my efforts. Beauty, I realized, knows no size—and now, neither would fashion.
