Cultural stereotypes are often defined by skin tone and geography. People seem to have a fixed idea of what an individual from a certain region should look or sound like. Having your very existence contradict these fixed ideas that people have can be quite entertaining, so long as you're light hearted towards racial ignorance. Sometimes the best we can do with a tough situation is to make me laugh, and through happiness, they may be more open to learning a little more about a culture they don't understand.

Size culture; a trend of behaviors demonstrated by a large population of people in association with clothing size. Have you ever asked someone what their size is? It's a rather uncomfortable question. Size shaming is a culture practiced across all forms of human relationships. Between parent and child, friends at school, lovers, or online. We seem to hold a certain significance to numbers, numbers that don't actually accurately give any detail about a persons shape or size. Like a Snack swim swear is a line that screams "fuck the numbers and what you think they say about our bodies" Designer, Emilie Erwied not only allows you to customize your style, but also custom fits the outfit to your body. The entire artistic process is a movement against size shaming culture.
