AnikaG commented on Tyra Tackles The Weighty Issue Of "Fatsploitation"

"As someone who has struggled with her weight, can I just say: in my life, people have made rude or disparaging remarks about my race, my religion, my sexual choices, my Ivy-League education, my interests and my hobbies.

Despite what we may want, there are always going to be nasty, judgmental people out there."

AnikaG commented on If You Worked At Home, You'd Be Wearing Pajamas Too
