Latina Magazine Shows Some Plus Size Love

PLUS Model Magazine — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 05:47:10 +0000

Olga Ramos, Lifestyle Editor at Daily Venus Diva, is featured in the February 2012 issue of Latina Magazine. Olga has been a plus size advocate for many years and continues to use her voice for the better good of the plus size woman.

Olga says, “I have been curvy since the age of 12. I want to say that my cute smile and great personality made me a popular child, but it wasn’t always like that. There were the days when the name-calling would hurt. But I learned early on that people come and go—I have to live with and love myself for the rest of my life.”
