Model Kelsey Merritt was the first ever Filipino who walked the runway of the well known Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
In an online media conference for Viva’s newest Angel hosted by Phoemela Miranda, Kelsey was asked to give some words of encouragement to people who felt insecure about their body because it can be recalled that she posted a photo having stretch marks.

To which Kelsey answered “So I feel like as a model and as like a figure that people look up to, I sort of have a responsibility to show people that I’m real. That I’m also human. I have the same things that they have. the stretch marks that they have, are naturally occurring in a human body.
It’s not something to be look down upon or something that you should try to get rid of because everyone has it. And if I have it, it seems crazy to me to edit my photos to make me look perfect because I’m not. I feel like that I see that in other people and I don’t want other people to feel that way through my photos.
So I tried to be as more authentic as I can, in any way that I can and the responsibility that I have as a figure.”
