Episode 128: Modeling, Influencing, & Creating an Inclusive Fashion Line with Gia Sinatra

Body Truth with Katelyn Parsons

Gia Sinatra has worked for over a decade in the beauty & entertainment industry as a hairstylist. She started modeling in 2018 and her passion for plus-size representation inspired her to grow her influence, & the creation of her own clothing brand. In March 2022 she launched Gia IRL, for women sizes 12 and up. Gia IRL came from the frustration of not being able to find the clothes she wanted in her size and she knew so many other women shared her frustrations.
