Jazzmyne Robbins
Model, Instagram star, and Libra Jazzmyne Robbins picked her career wisely. “I wanted to be a representation for fat Black lesbians who love to switch up their style!” she tells GO. When she began her internship at BuzzFeed, “There were no personalities that I really saw myself represented by, so I took advantage of that. I made sure that whenever I was on screen, I was in a different lipstick, or a dress this time and street style the next time! I wanted to show diversity in what being a lesbian was.” Now, whether crushing the runway at New York Fashion Week or rocking lingerie from Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty line on social media, Robbins is showing the world just how much style she has. Her vibrant, colorful, and fun fashion — along with her celebration of body positivity — have made her one of Instagram’s brightest stars, not to mention a pop-cultural activist and inspiration to all those who see themselves as “different.” Although she knows how easy it is to compare ourselves to others, she’s embraced the philosophy that having confidence in and loving oneself isn’t about competing. “The most important part of understanding your self-love journey is not to compare but to remember to support each other,” she says. “We all have different struggles, but supporting each other through them is what will let each and every one of us learn and grow. By doing this, we can all be on the path to self-love!” —RK
