This is a remarkably candid and riveting interview with the inspiring Nikki DuBose (find her on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube!) who has courageously turned her tragedies into triumph. I was really taken by her raw authenticity as well as her commitment to help others. Nikki was at the top of the modeling profession but like many struggled with inner demons especially surrounding body images. She offers a lot of well-earned wisdom in this beautiful exchange.
