Yumi Nu

Find out what Yumi Nu said about her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover and how it would have changed her body image if she saw it when she was younger.

So for me to be on the cover of Vogue Japan meant being seen and being honored by a culture that often makes people with bigger bodies like mine feel invisible,” she wrote. While she acknowledged the negative role social media can play in body image, Nu said seeing people who looked like her on Instagram helped her accept her own body. In an interview with People, Nu opened up about the impact that her cover appearance may have on young, plus size, Asian girls.
