Jayden

I'm a busy person; I like to keep myself distracted. Most of the time, it's external outlets like painting, gardening, organizing. But I'm at a point in my journey with my body where I've found so so much creative expression through what I can do with my body - kind of an internal outlet.⠀

Dancing is like a sport for me, where I'm always getting to get better. It can be sensual, but in a way that feels empowering to me. So many women work ordinary office type jobs, and they never really get a chance to feel sexy at all; then they go to a pole class or something and they find this whole new part of themselves that can blossom.⠀

Modeling is a part of that, too - especially modeling nude. Modeling fashion is great, but again it's expressing yourself through something external. When you're nude, there's nothing to hide behind - it's just raw YOU.⠀

It can still be hard for me if someone criticizes my body though; like men who say to me, 'You look like you're getting a little fat' - I'm healthy, I'm strong, I'm eating to support my performance, and I love that my body can do so many things that bring me joy. ⠀
