ENAM Asiama, late 20s, from Birmingham, UK, is a ‘black, fat, queer femme model’ who is redefining beauty stereotypes within the fashion industry. She first became a model to celebrate and represent the different intersects of her identity - being black, fat, queer and femme. Enam receives a lot of hate and criticism online because of her size, but she doesn’t let it stop her. She told Truly: “When I read all of this hate I thought, ‘I am going to love myself and keep doing what I do’. I don’t care what others think of me.” Enam’s career in high-end fashion has seen her work with brands such as Marc Jacobs and Paco Rabanne. She uses her platform to fight for equality and to create a space in the industry that represents plus size, black models. She says: “Through my modelling, I want to advocate for the representation of all shapes and sizes because everyone deserves to be represented and celebrated.”
