Sasha is a make up artist, curve model and founder of the #BestYou events that aim to empower women to feel confident and good with or without makeup.

Always the ‘bigger girl’ among her friends at school, it was her big personality that protected her from bullies and covered up her desire to be slimmer, resulting in a lack of confidence beneath the surface - until she decided enough was enough.

She talks about her journey to freedom from dieting and how the accidental #filterdrop campaign went viral and caught the attention of the media including the BBC, Vogue and Grazia after she decided it is not ok to promote makeup and cosmetics using a filter, and made a stand against it.

Since recording Sasha has received news from the Advertising Standards Agency that because of her campaign, it is now "advised that brands/influencers/celebrities are not to apply filters to photos which promote beauty products if such filters are likely to exaggerate the effect the product is capable of achieving.”
