The Full<br />

De-Brief<br />

A bundle of energy, positivity and<br />

fun, Georgina Horne has gone<br />

from working in a restaurant,<br />

to travelling the world as a<br />

plus-size model. Through her<br />

fullerfigurefullerbust social media<br />

platform, the 31-year-old has<br />

created an online community for<br />

the larger lady in a bid to promote<br />

body positivity.<br />

Having faced fat-shamers<br />

throughout much of her life, she<br />

channelled her experiences into a<br />

support group helping women to<br />

embrace their curves, boost their<br />

confidence, and feel empowered.<br />

However, it’s not always been a<br />

smooth catwalk for Georgina.<br />

Here, she tells <strong>Happiful</strong> about<br />

coping with trolls, her mental<br />

health, and why now – 27 years<br />

after her mother’s death – she has<br />

turned to therapy >>><br />
