“We’re blurring the lines. That’s been the point for a very long time is blurring those lines, because it gets very confusing and I think frankly damaging,” Huffine says.
Huffine has now appeared on the pages of Harper’s Bazaar, W magazine, Vogue, Lane Bryant’s #ImNoAngel and “Plus is Equal” campaigns, and most recently the May cover of Elle Magazine.
For as long as I can remember, I dreamt of being a model. Anytime there was an opportunity to write down my future goals in class it was \"move to New York City and become a fashion model\". There was no plan B for me. So my body type wasn't ideal measurements, minor detail. ?? I refused to be told I couldn't become what I had always imagined and committed myself to working tirelessly for the day when my size wouldn't dictate my possibility. I hope this cover can serve as a symbol for anyone who believes they can, that they are, that they will be. If you wake up every morning and can think of nothing but your dream, follow it and never stop. I am honored and so thrilled to share with you the cover of @elleusa!! Proud to be alongside @bellahadid, @jastookes, @hoskelsa, @iammariaborges, and @haileybaldwin, proving there’s no single definition of beauty.

But lately she’s being recognized for another endeavor: Project Start, an initiative she created with Women’s Running Magazine to encourage women to run.
For Huffine, running began as a dare from her husband but as soon as she started she realized that “there is so much that running brings to your life outside of just covering distance.” Huffine completed the New York City half marathon in 2016
“I really just wanted to encourage women to start their journey, or restart their journey and know that they absolutely can,” she added.
Today, Huffine has become a role model for young women everywhere. “Our world is made up of so many different kinds of women and it’s time that others get to see that so that they feel represented.”
