Ua lana nui ka manaʻo o Akira Armstrong no kāna hana hulahula ma hope o ke hōʻike ʻia ʻana i ʻelua mau mele mele a Beyoncé. Minamina, ʻaʻole lawa ka hana ʻana no Queen Bey no kāna mea e loaʻa ai iā ia iho he agena-ʻaʻole no kona nele i ke tālena, akā no kona nui.

"ʻO wau nō ka mea hulahula ʻoihana, a ʻo ia ka manawa aʻu i lele ai i Los Angeles. Ua ʻano like wau me ka maka ʻaoʻao, e like me, 'ʻO wai kēia kaikamahine?' E like me, ʻaʻole ʻo ia no, "wahi a Armstrong i loko o kahi wikiō no Ka Makani. "Ua like nā poʻe ma hope o ka pākaukau, 'He aha kā mākou e hana ai me ia?'"

"Nānā nā kānaka iā ʻoe a ua hoʻokolokolo mua iā ʻoe ma muli o kou nui, [manaʻo] ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hana i ka hana, me ka ʻole o ka hāʻawi ʻana iā ʻoe i kahi manawa e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai iā ʻoe iho. Ua nāwaliwali au."

ʻAʻole kēia ka manawa mua a Armstrong i ʻike ai i kēia ʻano hoʻohilahila kino.

"Ke ulu nei au i kahi hulahula, ua manaʻo wau he kino koʻu kino," wahi āna. "ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke komo i nā kāhiko, a ʻokoʻa mau koʻu kapa i nā poʻe āpau."

Loaʻa ka pilikia i ka ʻoihana ʻoihana hoʻokahi mea, akā hana ʻo ia me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa like i kona ola pilikino.

"Ua hoʻohenehene mai nā lālā o ka ʻohana iaʻu," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, ʻo ke ʻāʻā ʻana. "He mea hoʻonāukiuki."

Ua haʻalele ʻo Armstrong iā L.A. ma hope o nā hōʻole ʻole ʻana a ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia inā loaʻa iā ia kahi pana ma kahi ʻoihana hula, pono ʻo ia e hoʻomalu iā ia iho.

No laila, hoʻomaka ʻo ia i ka Pretty Big Movement, kahi hui hula no nā wahine curvy. "Ma hope o ka hele ʻana i nā loiloi a haʻi ʻia ʻaʻole, ua makemake wau e hana i kahua no nā wahine ʻē aʻe i ʻoluʻolu e ʻoluʻolu," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo ia i kāna hui hulahula e hoʻonāukiuki i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e puka i waho o kā lākou wahi hōʻoluʻolu a mahalo ko lakou kino e like me lakou.

"Ke ʻike mai lākou iā mākou e hoʻokani nei, makemake wau e hoʻoikaika ʻia lākou. Makemake wau e hoʻopuehu ʻia lākou. Makemake au i ke kaikamahine liʻiliʻi e nānā nei e like me, 'E nānā makuahine, hiki iaʻu ke hana pēlā. E nānā i kēlā mau kaikamahine nui i luna. me Afros ma, '"wahi a Armstrong. "E pili ana i ka hoʻokiʻekiʻe a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i nā wahine e manaʻo e hiki iā lākou ke hana i kekahi mea, ʻaʻole wale ka hula."

E nānā i ka hui e puhi i kou manaʻo ma ke wikiō ma lalo nei.
