Here at TSP we like to go deep quick, and that’s exactly what we did with influencer Dani Sauter. Dani’s lady boss mom was an amazing role model. A Puerto Rican woman paving her way in Washington, D.C. and Richmond, VA, starting her own newspaper and managing it all with Dani in tow. When Dani was 13 her mom found a lump in her neck, and Dani graciously goes into all the details, her feelings about the situation, and what she learned from her mother’s passing in the episode. See the post where she recreates photos of her mom on her site here.
On that topic we chat about death and mortality in general, but then lighten the mood learning more about how Dani juggles a full-time IT consulting job with her influencing and blogging work.
Dani tells all about how she creates her amazing editorial photos and why she thinks her Instagram account grew so quickly, and gives us the deets on her time at Coco Rocha’s modeling camp.
We chat body positivity, inclusive sizing, and why none of us like the phrases “plus size” or “extended sizes”.
Plus, Meg goes on a mini rant about Instagram and why people should stop complaining about the algorithm.
