If you are on TikTok, its likely that you've seen Remi Bader.
She has over two million followers and posts videos of herself doing realistic clothes hauls for high-street brands.
The influencer has been an inspiration to curvy girls who feel uncomfortable in certain outfits – and is often referred to as a body positive creator.
However Remi has told Shape that she doesn't count herself as a body positive influencer.
She said: "Just because I'm a bigger girl that ended up on social media with a bigger following, I just don't like the idea that all of a sudden press and brands started considering me this self-love, body positivity person when that's kind of not what I was talking about.
"I never came online and was like, 'I love myself every day.'
"I came on this platform actually gaining a lot of weight, not being fully accepting of my body, and trying to get there."
As well as being a TikTok sensation, Remi is a curve model for lots of different fashion brands.
She's worked with companies like Revolve, who she didn't believe catered to curvier girls until she made a video about struggling to find an outfit that looks good on her.
She is also working with Victoria's Secret PINK, as a brand ambassador and more importantly, a size consultant.
She said: "I feel the most confident when I have an outfit that I'm genuinely excited about, and I really enjoy how I look — not because my body changed or anything about my appearance changed.
"Finding an outfit that I feel good in totally changes my mood."
