Last year, while shopping online for plus-sized clothing, Yasmina Morina, a native of Fribourg, Switzerland, came across Velvet d’Amour, a former Miss Plump Universe. She was inspired to apply for the beauty pageant herself, so she did—and she won. WRS video journalist Amy Wong went out to Morina’s hometown of La Roche to chat with her as she took a stroll with her two boys.

What an inspirational woman. What she says is very true. I feel exactly the same way, I think society has gone too far with the anti-obesity campaign, treating plus size people like pariahs. I have heard many Europeans say to me that large people are disgusting and don’t deserve to have surgery, or have insurance etc. I don’t understand this mentality?! Thank heavens for people like Yasmina Morina, going out there to campaign for plus size people’s rights and to help build their self confidence.
Everybody has the wright to live as he is..not like the others want him to be.
She is very pretty and charming! Wish her all the best!
