Tall Stories with Instagrammer Abby Dufficy Tall Stories

    • Entrepreneurship

Abby Dufficy had hated being 6'1 forever. In her early 40s, dismayed at the lack of fashion content for women of her age and height, she created @mytall40s on Instagram. It was from here that she started forming connections and real-world friendships with other tall women, and - to her surprise - finally started falling in love with her height. We discuss what it's like to feel chronically shy in a very visible body, and how the desire to fade into the background can feel so regrettable once you've made peace with it.
