Model Iskra Lawrence

Iskra Lawrence is what people normally would call a "plus-size" model, but don't call her that to her face.  She hates the term.

Originally from England, Ms. Lawrence does not try to hide her large size and has refused to allow anyone to retouch her photos to make her look thin.  She doesn't like the impossible beauty standards set by fashion and cosmetics.

Ms. Lawrence is best known as a model for the American Eagle Outfitters lingerie line Aerie.

Sports journalist Mina Kimes

Mina Kimes is a prominent woman in the men's domain that is ESPN.

She's a regular commentator on ESPN shows, but her biggest contributions for the sports network are for the channel's sister print outlet.  She's worked at ESPN magazine as its senior editor since 2014

Before that, she was at Bloomberg for a year, working as an  investigative journalist, and had been at Fortune for six years before that.

Mina Kimes currently co-hosts the ESPN Radio weekend program "The Morning Roast" with Domonique Foxworth (Foxworth is a man) and Clinton Yates.  The three of them began the show at the beginning of  2017.  They talk about sports and whatever else comes to mind. :-) 

Stage actress Nikki M. James

Nikki Michelle James has been on numerous TV shows, but her real love is the theater.

She grew up in New Jersey, and she performed in church and in school performances, where she found she could sing as well as act. So musical theater was a natural fit for her.  Much of her work has been in New York City.

One of her first major roles was as the heroine prostitute Ottilie in a revival production of the Truman Capote musical House of Flowers, and she also appeared in the Broadway cast of All Shook Up, an Elvis Presley jukebox musical set to the story of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.  Yes - the King and the Bard, together!  (The experience of appearing in a Twelfth Night-based musical would enable Ms. James to play Viola in two different Central Park productions of the real thing.)

Ms. James also played Nabulungi in the musical farce The Book of Mormon and received a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in 2011 as a result of that role.  She also  played Éponine in a Broadway revival of Les Misérables from 2014 to January 2015.  Nikki M. James is nothing if not versatile.

On television, she has had one-shot parts in "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "The Good Wife," and "Bull," among other shows.
