Samyra has a message for all fashion brands: “If you want plus sizes to sell, why you keep making them ugly as hell?”) is one of the most prominent Gen Z voices using their social media savvy to push for fashion’s size-inclusive future during a time when progress seems not only to have haltedfound that 99.5% of the models on the autumn/winter runways in New York, London, Milan and Paris were “straight size.
To Samyra, combining her R&B and soulful music with plus-size advocacy felt like the perfect mash-up to get her message across. That desire to mesh the two is what brought “Plus-Size Freestyle” to fruition.Samyra’s formal vocal training began when she was 10 and was inspired by the rich and soulful sounds that filled her hometown of New Orleans.
Since the song’s release on streaming platforms earlier this year, Samyra has seen a big uptick in conversation from her engaged followers. But the brands she’s calling out in the tune have been “radio silent.” One line in the song that has struck a chord with listeners is “If you ain’t got at least a 4X, you ain’t trying,” addressing a hot topic within the plus-size community of what is and isn’t considered “size-inclusive.
